Thanks Nidhan Singh Sir,

I collected this as it is a wood rooting fungi and i need to collect them for my Forest Pathology course last year.

Moreover if i will not collect it, i am almost sure it will soon get deteriorated in a couple of year either by weathering or by termite attack as it had already started decomposing at top.

Unlike plants these fungi have mycelium spread over host plant, a few more new fruiting bodies will grow on it....

Best regards

question is

does it kill the host?

does its presence signify decay has already set in?

so it either caused that decay by invading it

or it only is an opportunistic fungus 

that attacks decaying/damaged wood

wonder if the dying diseased wood be saved by 

shaving off the dead/decay area and treating with antifungal

so the rest of the mature tree goes on to live 

unlike the subterranean fungal colonies that help trees talk to each other

these i suspect are saprophytes, 

attacking damaged wood

i wonder if there is a protocol for treating trees to save them

usha di

and thanks for the list
