Flat Mushrooms At The Base Of A Tree

Ganoderma signs are flat mushroom conks at the base of the tree. The symptoms are sometimes branches dying. However, there may be no outward symptoms. This fungal disease feeds on lignin. Lignin is what makes wood hard, gives wood its rigidity. If there is any doubt I can always perform a Tomography test. This will create a picture of what the inside of your tree looks like. Sorta like an MRI for trees. Why take a chance ?

  We first would prune (trim) the dead limbs out, then test in order to make an educated decision on whether to spend money to save the tree or replace it.
