The rot sets in
This ash twig will never grow up to be a hurley, but it may provide the fertilizer for an ash tree that will. It will have some help on the way to becoming compost. Already, Laccaria laccata mushrooms are using it for food (these mushrooms are also called 'Deceiver' and are apparently edible) - one of them is providing a good vantage spot for a greenbottle (Lucilia caeser) - a creature that feeds on anything rotten - vegetable or animal. The path of the ash twig is the path that faces us all one day - and the greenbottles will help us on our way.
