It is a cracking example of a hazard beam that has failed but healed and continue to grow. i shall get more shots of them as i go around the woods. There are so many little runs and cut throughs.

well, in this case I might suggest mower damage has caused a very similar wound/heal process we see in grazing situations. Obviously there is a dysfunction associated with the scaring, and on Acer the undermining fungi could be pholiota squarrosa, meripilus, etc

 

basicaly whats causing it is abiotic scaring, and biotic colonisation.
