Greetings!
Following many recent inquiries about Coniophora puteana on healthy and unhealthy western redcedar, we're interested in learning more about this fungus.
Coniophora puteana is a common wood decay fungus, but it is occasionally observed on living western redcedar trees.

We're interested in confirming the fungus in these observations is Coniophora puteana and growing a culture collection for future research about its possible impacts on redcedar.
If you see it on western redcedar, please share the observation in this project, and if you're willing to collect a sample, please email Joey at hulbe@wsu.edu
Thank you!
