FREE Urban Forestry Webinar: Do You Know the Ascomycete Wood Decayers of Urban Trees? - A Prelude to the WAA/DNR Annual Conference
2024-01-17 12:00 - 12:30
Most arborists recognize that mushrooms, brackets and conks of the basidiomycete fungi on urban trees indicate internal decay. However, one of the most important wood decay fungi is also one of the most obscure. Kretzschmaria deusta is an ascomycete wood decay pathogen with a very wide host range and one that can break barrier and reaction zones and cause extensive decay in the lower trunk and buttress roots. This presentation will discuss ascomycete wood decay by focusing on Kretzschmaria deusta and other ascomycete wood decay fungi.

Join us for this FREE live webinar that is a prelude to the WAA/DNR Annual Conference which ties into Dr. Luley’s talk called “Biology, Identification and Management of Wood Decay in Urban Trees.”

0.5 CEUs available

Pre-registration is required. Click on ‘Register Online’ on the right side of the screen to register.
