I picked up several logs today, had been told it was Ash. The odd thing
I noticed is that the cut ends on some of the logs have taken on quite a
rather dark pink tinge in a little over 8 Hours.
I haven't been able to find reference to Ash and pink, so was wondering
if anyone here has seen it, or should I be looking to identify it as
something else.

Depending on where it is from, ash can have a pinkish hue. Here in central
Alabama, north of a line about 2/3'rds of the way down, ash has a pinkish
hue. South of that line it has a blue hue and in the Panhandle of Florida
it can have a dark brown hue.

From what I understand, this is caused by a fungus and has no adverse effect
on the wood, except for the coloration.

Not sure where I fall into on that scale as I am South UK

But at least it can be pink I will have a look in the morning to see
how much darker it has got
