Here is the Yellow Birch that fell about 3
years ago. It broke at the base where the fungi weakened it.
I removed some bark and exposed some
reddish brown material. For all I know this might be the natural color of
the under bark.
Here is a close-up that shows no sign of
pores.
On a small branch I found this fungi
growing out of a crack in the birch bark. Poria spissa?
