Hi everyone,
Just joined hoping to get some help with an ID.
I noticed what I think is a fungus growing on the trunk of a laurel tree. I noticed a couple of white circles yesterday that I'd guess were about 1 inch in diameter. Then today I noticed it had turned into the large blob shown in the photo. Size is now about 7cm x 11 cm.
It's glossy and almost pearl like on the surface, although the picture doesn't appear as shiny as in real life. That damaged area on the left of the mass is where I poked it with a stick.
Any ideas as to what it is and what I should do with it would be appreciated.
Thanks
