    It’s actually quite common but its a parasite and will kill the tree eventually

      Ooohhh, that makes sense because we have a lot of these in my local forest and most trees that have them are either dead or dying. For the longest time we thought they only grew on dead trees until we saw some on a few living trees. Your explanation has cleared up some things for us! Thanks :D

        Yeah I didn’t figure this out by myself either! It’s hard imagine such a little thing can kill such big trees

      Or the tree is already dead. Seen similar funghi on trees that were dead, but still standing.
