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.
