Try and get a copy of Shigos Modern Arboriculture.

Some very good reference material on tree biology and anatomy.

Psedoscleratial plates are better thought of as bubbles or sacks. They are chemical deposits made by the fungi and enclose the area of the substrate they are decaying. By enclosing the area the fungi can alter the conditions within it to favour it. The fungi may dry it out or bring in moisture. They probably also offer some protection from the advancement of other fungal colonies.

 

I remember reading somewhere that the lines were black because one of the chemicals deposited by the fungi was melanin.

You ain't wrong. Pick anything living that exhibts a black colouration and you'll find melanin. It's also what gives you a suntan.

 

BTW nice shots Dave. :D
