Q&A – Overnight this fungus sprung up under my tree.
Will it hurt the tree?
Question:
Overnight this fungus sprung up under my tree. Will it hurt the tree?
Answer:
This is a ramaria fungus often called coral mushroom because it looks like coral. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper says this fungus grows on decaying organic matter. The mushrooms are not directly harming the tree, but they could be an indicator of root rot. Chris recommends having a certified arborist look at the tree.
