The Fungi World (192) : Wild Dry Rot

In winter fungi are rare, but they do exist, like this Wild Dry Rot fungus, a lichen lookalike.

A tree on which this fungus grows, is always doomed to die.
(can also grow on untreated wood in buildings)

Dutch name : Dakloze huiszwam
German name : Wilder Hausschwamm
Latin name : Serpula himantioides

    Even trees are not safe from them in winter

    Interessant dieser Pilz, ich habe ihn noch nicht gesehen!
    Baumpilze bedeuten für den Baum meist nichts Gutes...

    Der Pilz hat sich schon stark ausgebreitet und der Baum wird ihm zum Opfer fallen. Eine starke Aufnahme!!!

    great shot of the this winterly antibiosis between a the survivor fungus and the goner tree! ; ) oh, and i have a fungus story to tell: a couple of years ago we had to chop down the willow tree in our back yard. the stump is still there and has a fungus growing on its surface – a very frozen one these days… yesterday i watched a red squirrel (a frequent visitor to our garden, and a notorious looter of the bird feeder!) snack on it. broke pieces off and gobbled them up – for desert! he'd already stuffed himself on the seed buffet. sometimes he falls asleep in the feeder, filling it out completely – so cute to watch, that i forgive him the looting… ; )) greetings, sabine.

    Der Hausschwamm hat ein Wintermäntelchen bekommen!
    Faszinierend!
