Tree mushrooms


I wrote about the large box elder tree I was cutting up. I failed to mention that the box elders in this area have a mushroom that grows in them. In August you find neat gilled mushroom sticking out from points where the tree has been injured in storms and such. Then when the tree dies the core wood has turned a beautiful red color. The ones I have encountered earlier in my life have just plain old tan wood color.
