Phellinus robiniae on Robinia pseudoacacia

This shelf fungus is Phellinus robiniae. The tree is a black locust tree (Robinia pseudoacacia). The vine climbing up the black locust tree is Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).

REVISION 1/12/2013:  The vine is not Japanese honeysuckle, rather it is wintercreeper (Euonymus fortunei)


 The pale blue green spots on the top of the shelf are lichens. This tree is in a fencerow in Shelby County near Shelbyville.
