Hello... Can you identify the fungus/mold that is growing on my tree? Details are: Primary concern: Is it possibly unhealthy for plants around it or to animals or me? Location: Dead cherry tree. Tree was limbed last year and a snag was kept for birds etc. Recent Activity: Added mulch to the base of the tree last year. Nothing else seems to be currently affected by this fungus/mold. This stuff wraps around the tree from the base/soil level to the top of the snag. Exposure: Receives the most sun from the east. Photos were taken on the north (most shaded) side of the tree. Thank you, Cara Finlayson
