Has anyone come across silver leaf fungus at the base of a mature beech tree and what conditions of the tree did they experience.

 

Ross,

Chondrostereum purpureum (or Schizophyllum commune : first photo) often acts as a secundary saprotrophic fungus "peeling off" the bark (second photo) and superficially white rotting the died tissues and sapwood after other pathogens or sun scald have killed the cambium of beeches, without causing silver leave disease, which is restricted to Prunus and Sorbus species.

Howdy Gerritt, long time no see. Hope life has been treating you well. How did your new book go, will there be an English translation at some point?

Ps. Sorry for the derail...
