I have to agree now that the bark separation is probably not an issue. I had just never seen so much come off in such large pieces. Thinking it may have been canker was definitely jumping to conclusions without thinking, since (a) the bark underneath is healthy, and (b) even where there are large wounds, there is a history of callus formation. e would be a lot of moisture in the air.
I suggested that my foreman have someone climb and check for decay, especially where the fruiting bodies are. I also told him that the bark issue probably isn't anything to worry about. Hopefully we can get a few more good years out of this elm.

sanity returns! This fruiting body = removal crap kneejerk bs has gotta go. Chicken Little nonsense, not risk assessment.
Yesterday i worked on a hackberry condemned by 4 cert arbs because of stereum fungus growing on dead bark. no wood rot. BS!!!
those shrooms are coming out of a branch with flushcuts that looks like it has been dead awhile.
Kevin, the P squamosus I see has flatter ridges and darker color.
Fungi should be proven guilty of wood rot before mentioning removal.
