At the tree / Luxembourg (standing trees near structures, walkways, parking, or other targets)
Tree-base wood-decay fungi observation as an arborist referral flag — Luxembourg.

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Photograph any conk or bracket fungus at a tree's base near Luxembourg as a decay flag for an arborist. Julia Engels, co-author of the standard's own foundational wood-decay text, has run her own tree-care consultancy addressing fungal infestation and wood decay from here since 1998.
Offer to pay $160. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
This is external observation only, never a hazard rating or tree-care work such as cutting, pruning, or treatment. A tree with decay signs plus a recent lean, root heaving, cracks, or limb failure is urgent: route to the arborist now.
The full safety list for this job:
- Fruiting bodies indicate advanced internal decay in the large majority of documented cases and always route to an ISA Certified Arborist or TRAQ holder.
- Keep people, vehicles, and pets out of the target zone until the tree is assessed.
- This packet bridges to the plant kingdom's tree-health work but never substitutes for it.
- This packet is independent of and not affiliated with Julia Engels or her consultancy: named as the real, verified institutional home of a second co-author of this standard's own foundational wood-decay text, not an endorsement or partnership.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- camera
- tape measure or rangefinder
- notebook or data sheet
- GPS phone
- binoculars (for canopy-level deadwood, viewed from the ground)
Steps
- 1. Approach the tree from the ground only; never climb the tree or use a ladder to inspect it at height.
- 2. Identify the tree species where possible, and record its size (trunk diameter) and location relative to nearby targets (structures, walkways, parking, seating areas).
- 3. Walk around the base, root flare, and visible trunk, looking for fungal fruiting bodies (conks, brackets, shelf mushrooms).
- 4. Photograph every fruiting body found with its exact position on the tree, plus a whole-tree context shot.
- 5. Record other visible external decay indicators without diagnosing them: cavities, cracked or missing bark, deadwood in the canopy (viewed with binoculars from the ground), and insect or woodpecker activity.
- 6. Note any recent lean, root-plate heaving, large cracks, or signs of recent limb failure.
- 7. Do not attempt to determine internal decay extent, assign a hazard rating, or recommend any tree-care action; that is ISA Certified Arborist / TRAQ-holder work.
- 8. Route the finding to an ISA Certified Arborist or TRAQ holder by name as a decay flag, with the photos and location.
- 9. Log the tree ID, all findings, photos, and the referral into the proof record with date and GPS.
What counts as done
- Tree identified (species where possible, size, location relative to targets) and recorded
- Every fruiting body photographed with exact position plus a whole-tree context shot
- Other visible decay indicators recorded (cavities, cracked bark, deadwood, insect/woodpecker activity) without diagnosis
- Finding routed to an ISA Certified Arborist / TRAQ holder as a decay flag, never a self-issued risk rating
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
