Seems a fungus has begun fruiting on my Stanley plum in the yard. Actually, looks like two different species of fungus by the looks of the shelf it's sending out the tree lenticels. On close inspection the bark looks green, but I found a couple holes the size of your finger and the wood inside is rotten. This fungal growth is almost from the ground up to 6 feet. Guess I gotta cut it down this spring. I first thought it was sapsucker pecks, but went out and sure enough decay fungus of some sort. Wasn't there last fall.
