There’s a Fungus Among Us

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.
