Photo showing mature plates of bracket fungus growing on the trunk of a large horse chestnut tree (aesculus hippocastanum). This type of fungi is known as 'Basidiomycotina' and eventually leads to the heartwood of the tree rotting, weakening the tree, making it unstable and therefore more susceptible to serious wind damage.
