Fungus growing on a tree is a sure sign of heart rot tree disease, a common tree fungus that causes the inner core of a tree to decompose. If you notice fungus growing on one of your landscape trees, call a qualified arborist as soon as possible. The US Forest Service suggests removing trees with heart rot. Heart rot cannot permeate an intact tree trunk. To prevent heart rot, use correct pruning cuts when trimming trees and be careful when using lawn care equipment that could make holes in the tree's bark.
