Wondering #WhatWednesday (12/13/23). Bill V. (Greater Houston area) wondered what "this mushroom-like plant is, growing now for several weeks in our back yard." That's the fungus - Ganoderma. I wonder what tree root is growing on -KO @txplantdr #extPLPM #fungus #ganoderma

Happy Friday (9/28/23)! Lots of dieback and damage in landscape plants. Most originated from environmental trauma (heat, freeze, drought). Check landscape for things to do to reduce stress on plants. -KO @txplantdr #extPLPM #landscapeproblems #plantproblems #nature
