Unfortunately, I don't remember where this is, but I can tell you I took the picture ten days ago, so this tree is ten days closer to falling down than it was then!
Shelf fungi, also known as fungal conks, grow on decaying and hollow trees. The presence of these mushrooms indicates that the tree has a disease and is rotting on the inside. The diseases can lead to severe damage in just a few months. As the tree’s internal decay increases, more mushrooms appear on the bark.
So many sick and fungus-y trees… in the East Village Today!
[UPDATE: This tree is on Avenue C at East 5th Street!]
