While working this week I spotted this cool fungus. I wish I could tell you more about it.
In the picture at the top of the post you can see a puddle of rainwater on the fungus. We’ve had a very rainy summer which is probably why this fungus looks so healthy.
Looking down at the fungus and the puddle. I bet a frog finds that sooner than later.
A shot from the side showing the fungus attached to the tree. The tree it’s growing on is a Japanese Maple, probably a Bloodgood.
Fungus only grows on decaying matter. This tree has dead wood.
If you notice fungus growing on trees in your yard have an arborist you trust have a closer look before it’s too late and the tree falls injuring someone or damaging your property.
If you know anything about this fungus I’m all ears.
