Phellinus hartigii
Hartig´s white trunk rot
Description
Hartig´s white trunk rot is a wound parasite causing trunk canker. Through its activity, the mycelium causes the even heartwood white rot on living and later also on dead trees. A gateway for the infection may be trunk wound or previous disease, e.g. canker caused by fir broom rust. Fruiting bodies are perennial, effused-reflexed, sessile, the surface is pale yellowish brown and pores are grey up to purple brown.
Symptom
The mycelium causes the even heartwood white rot on living and later also on dead trees.
