|  Anybody ever seen these fungi?
Yesterday I saw a strange fungus on a Robinia pseudoacacia. On the entire trunk there were burls with fungal fruiting bodies in them. It looked liked a Ganodermaspecies. But I never saw it in combination with the burls?? Anybody seen this before?    Today I saw another species of fungi I couldn't indentify. This is at the base of Sorbus aria   Anybody ideas? |

Not sure about the first one, but the second fungi looks like dead man's fingers (Xylaria polymorpha

agree w xylaria. in the robinia, ganoderma applanatum is very common, but there it looks like the tree made a crazy response to the infection. looks like the infection came before the "burl". |

Very willing to acceed to greater knowledge by nth Arbs, however would think that either Phellinus robustus or P igniarius could produce fruiting bodies like that in the first few pics...agree the last one is Xylaria sp |

The first fungus could be Phellinus robineae? According to Luley, P robineae is usually associated with wounds and other defects. He adds "the conk is so common on black locusts that it is virtually a means for ID of the fungus".

Thanks for the response guys!  I have found info about the Phellinus family, but I haven't read about the robineae subpspiecies. |

It does seem to match Phellinus robiniae on page 308 of Sinclair's Disease book. He notes it is worldwide.
