Mushroom Fungus

Merry Christmas all!

I have found some mushrooms growing on my largest container fig tree and wanted to know if it's a problem or not.

Thanks for any help!

That type of fungus rots dead wood. It should not hurt fig trees but will slowly eat away that wooden planter

Luke,

If you want to look them up I believe they are called conks.  

They are Turkey Tails or something very similar.

They're eating the wood of the pot.  They will cause the pot to rot. 

Thanks for all the info.

Try cinnamon, look up the recent post, "has anyone tried this? "
