Fungal Fruiting Bodies

Fungal fruiting bodies are the visible reproductive structures of fungi, such as mushrooms, brackets, or conks, that appear on trees or in the surrounding soil. The presence of these fruiting bodies often indicates internal decay or disease in the tree, as the fungi decompose the wood. Arborists assess the appearance of fungal fruiting bodies to determine the health of the tree and the extent of decay.
