Fungus at base of tree

[Rob2025]

Fungus appeared this year on twin stemsycamore tree. Growing out of top of old cut wound. Given left hand stem on picture is leaning at appropriate 20 degrees at base is this likely to be problematic at some time in the future in terms of the tree becoming unsafe.Tree is approximately 25m tall. Fungus is dryads saddle. Tree over hangs highway and close to houses.

Eventually all trees become unsafe, die, or fall over.

 

Are you looking for us to say yes or no?

 

This week, no. In the next 50 years, probably.
