I have a hard growing fungus around the base of my tree and in several spots on the lawn near the tree what is this
Answer
Hard to tell from your description (not sure what a "hard growing fungus" is?) Can you send a good photo? Here's how:
You can send photos by email to Ask A Gardener : askagardener@pennhort.org Please also know that it is sometimes difficult to give a positive identification from a photo.
Please keep each image under 1 MB in size and include the following information for each photo (this information is adapted from instructions found on the University of Maryland Extension service web site)
- Growing conditions (full sun, part shade, shade, windy, salt spray, etc.)
Photos (jpg file less than 1MB and in focus)
- Tree and shrub photos should include a 12-24” branch with leaves, flowers, fruit or seed pods as well as a photo of entire plant, if possible.
- Flowers, weeds, and other herbaceous plant photos should show entire plant, preferably with flowers or seed heads.
- Descriptions should include size and source (if known) of plant; color, aroma, and time of flowering; fruit, cone, etc.
