Fung at base of Q robur

[treeseer]

On the shady side, running between a basal canker and a pruning wound. Can't tell if it's just a bark disease or deeper. Stereum sp.?

[David Humphries]

I think Stereum species are more pored than your example seems to show, it looks more like a toothed crust species from these images.

 

 

Nice tree !

 

I like the fastigiate oaks. Planted these two in about '88

A toothed crust species? ok i get that stereum is smoother...

 

Here are some closeups of bark plates i pulled off, outside and inside.

schizopora

 

do you think they are just elongated pores rather than teeth?

 

A clearer orientated image would be more useful.

 

Which species do you think?

 

Is it found in the US?

Schizopora not seen in US references. No pores visible even on the creamier fung on the inside of the dead bark. Here's some side shots. Very toothy.
