I think your analysis of the problem is
correct. I’m unsure about your proposed treatment, and I look forward to
hearing how it works out. I don’t think any healthy tissue will grow
back over, at least not from the trunk under the area. Maybe at the margins,
where you approach bark-covered areas. Beneath the damage, you’ll chisel
down closer to living tissue, maybe all the way down to it. The surface may
become firmer and dryer, and inhospitable to fungi; or you may open the tree to
infections. If you’re careful enough with the chisel to not cut into
living tree, I don’t think it’s likely you would make things any
worse, and you might make things better. Good luck, and keep us posted! Stephen Sadler, Ph.D. USDA 9, AHS heat zone 8, From: nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org

White mushrooms growing from Observation. I too have the white fungi, though mine
looks more like shelf fungi. I believe they only came after the
bark/tissue was already dead. I believe the problem started when the tree
received winter damage from cracking bark (warm sun followed by freezing
temperatures). The bark began to ooze. I call this 'gummosis', but
I believe this was only a symptom not the cause. Possibly a bacterial
infection? What I'm planning to do. I kept expecting the tree
to die, but its been going on for 3 years like this, with the dead area
gradually widening. I think the healthy remaining tissue cannot recover
as the moist/dead tissue is continuing to infect the healthy tissue, and the
dead tissue blocks the regrowth. So unless someone has a convincing
anti-argument, I'm going to remove the diseased dead tissue/bark with a chisel. This should allow the wood underneath to dry out and not
remain a source of fungi. The healthy tissue (theoretically), should be
able to grow back over. Thoughts are welcome. Chris Mauchline |
