At the tree / Singapore (standing trees near structures, walkways, parking, or other targets)

Tree-base wood-decay fungi observation as an arborist referral flag — Singapore.

An observer in Singapore photographs a bracket fungus at the base of a roadside tree, framing a wide context shot before noting the exact position on the trunk for the referral. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Photograph any conk or bracket fungus at a tree's base in Singapore as a decay flag for an arborist. A Singapore survey sampled 134 urban trees and collected 121 fruiting bodies.

Offer to pay $160. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

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.
  • The Singapore survey identified fungi by DNA from samples of diseased trees, never from a photograph: this packet names no species from a photo, makes no edibility statement about any fruiting body, and never treats the survey's fungi as a list of what a given tree has.
  • This packet is independent of and not affiliated with Nanyang Technological University, the National Parks Board or the survey authors: named as the real, verified source of a published urban tree survey, not an endorsement or partnership, and no tree authority is contacted from this packet.
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 for photographing fruiting bodies and their exact position on the tree
  • Measuring tape for height/position and size of fruiting bodies
  • A tree-ID reference or app for species context, never for decay diagnosis
  • A site sketch or GPS location for the tree
  • Prior observation records where they exist

Steps

  1. 1. Identify the tree — species where possible, approximate diameter, and its location relative to structures, walkways, parking, or other targets people or property occupy.
  2. 2. Walk the full base, root flare, and visible trunk for fruiting bodies: conks, brackets, shelf fungi, or mushrooms growing from bark, wounds, cavities, or the root zone.
  3. 3. Photograph each fruiting body in place with its exact position (height on trunk, root-flare side, distance from base) and take a wide shot showing the whole tree and nearby targets.
  4. 4. Record other visible decay indicators alongside the fungi, without diagnosing them: cavities or open wounds, cracked or loosened bark, dead or dying limbs, and insect or woodpecker activity.
  5. 5. Do NOT probe, cut into, remove, or otherwise disturb the tree or the fungi — this is an external observation only, not an assessment tool.
  6. 6. Note any target the tree could strike if it or a limb failed (structure, road, walkway, parking, play area) and whether the tree sees regular human/vehicle presence.
  7. 7. Record findings as decay FLAGS, never a diagnosis or a risk rating, and route to an ISA Certified Arborist (or one holding the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification, TRAQ) for the actual assessment.
  8. 8. Set the recheck date and compare against any prior observation for new or changed fruiting bodies.

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, a TRAQ holder or an equivalent qualified arborist 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.
