volavalov:destroysoil: heart rot is a disease that causes decay of wood on trees. it is spread from wounds in the bark which causes fungal growth and makes the tree weaker. this bracket fungus (fistulina hepatica) is causing heart rot in the trunk of a tree. This makes me wonder,can you “heal” wounds in trees? when a tree is wounded, it does not “heal” or regenerate like the tissue of many animals, but they form ‘callouses’ around the wounded bark to seal off and prevent further infection. -- source link
