I have an orange type fungus that is growing on the side boards of part of my western red cedar deck (installed 2020). It appears to rot the wood. Can you identify and prescribe treatment and how to prevent?

A gentleman brought in this plant and would like help to identify it. It seems invasive and is taking over his fields. He would also like help in knowing how to get rid of it. Name Spenser Hill Phone:<personal data hidden>

Hello, My dad has a beautiful woodland garden and many of his hostas have small dark dots on top of the leaves. They are raised, not in the leaf so to speak. They feel like running fingers over braille. I’m wondering if you know what they might be, and if they are harmful? The garden is thriving this year with the cooler temps and ample rainfall earlier this season. I should mention most of the hostas with these dots are under silver maple trees.

Good afternoon. I'm curious how best to treat post emergent poa annua in a 4 cultivar perennial rye lawn. I'm in the kalamazoo area, soil test is fine, I renovated with good soil/sand, irrigate regularly but based on ETO, treat with ammonium sulfate and natural things like kelp, molasses etc. I didnt blanket spray herbicide or pre-emergent this year but have been spot treating with a speedzone/quonclorac blend. I also have a halosalfuron herbicide for yellow nutsedge. I'm wondering my options short of doing a glyphosate spot treatment. Caveat being I overseeded on August 18th. I've read on the prodiamine label that I need to wait 60 days after overseed before application. I have resisted using tenacity as a blanket spray due to my lawn being all perennial rye, Tenacity tends to damage rye according to its label, however I have come to terms that I may need short term visual damage if mesotrione is the answer. I'm curious what you recommend in terms of what I can do with our average first frost being approx a month out. Thanks so much for your time!

We are looking at trimming our 40 year old spruce. We are wanting to lift the canopy on them, When is the best time of year for that to take place? We are wanting to do it before the sap runs.

Looking to confirm what type of Beetle this is. I'm thinking a Foreign Grain Beetle but, would like to be sure. They are being found in a bathroom which is a bit pecular. Seems they would have had to migrate they from the kitchen area? Thank you for your time.

Can I use a macerating juicer to extract apple juice for canning? I'm assuming that would be the same as using an apple crusher/press, but am confirming. I am using the OSU apple cider/juice instructional pdf as a starting place. Thank you!
