I love then and collect the hard ones for Christmas decorations

But if I had just a few in my garden, I would let them be and search in the wood for some to bring inside

Doris J,
You might want to have an ISA certified arborist take a look at your tree.

That fungus appears to be growing on the heartwood of the branch (the bark was damaged/removed and the wood is now rotting). The fungus is helping the decomposition along and soon the weight of that branch will cause the branch to fail. The lichens on the branch are harmless.

Yeppers. That branch be joining the lower shade garden soon if ya don't!

Shoot, forgot to dig out the crotch of the old tree last fall myself! OH NO! Danged thing will be falling on my car and house for certain! Jeepers......... I hate when I forget chores!

I've heard you scrape it out, let it dry well and then put that expanding foam on there, so the water doesn't settle there and it will prevent furture problems. Just a thought.

Actually, guys, that fungus is growing on a piece of dead wood in my garden!

It's been there for years, and the fungus comes back every rainy season. I think it's cool looking

Me too. I love all those fungus and lava things... look like a part of it is what we call raindeer lava.. beautiful grey/green/ blue growing on dead wood...
Good decoration material too
