Phellinus pini, and a root disease?

Or Phellinus weirii? Looks a bit more laminated than pocket-y. You guys have more experience with these than I do.

Nothing to add other than that’s beautiful wood with whatever caused that. Would be awesome to preserve a slab.

Looks like a clients tree got beech leaf disease this season 
That looks more like erineum galling to me

I hope you’re right. But this seems more inter-veinal than galling and matches pretty well a co workers BLD find. It’s out to the lab to find out.

That’s actually how I spotted it, from below canopy and looking up. I’m hoping I’m wrong, client really likes the tree.you will see BLD better with the leaves backlit than those pics

@KTSmith
Laminated Root rot, and annosus co infection..
I’ve only seen annosus a few times in Douglas fir, and I’ve only seen laminated a few times in a hemlock. Many times in the same stand, but never in the same tree.

Love pagoda dogwoods, somewhat common in the woods here. Bummer the canker is also common

The linden cross section is great in showing how little sapwood was supporting the vitality of the stem.

It amazes me how little wood can support a living tree. We removed a large oak (Red or Pin, I forget which) the other year that was infected with Ganoderma and barely still upright and found that at the stump there was less than ten linear inches of living cambium, yet the 4’ diameter tree was still living, and the canopy looked rather healthy.

JD,
Many moons ago do you think Sunscald was at the forefront of the issue. Primary. Thin barked those 1st years.

Certainly may have been and deer rubbing could have been an issue as well.
This tree was chlorotic and barely growing for years, half to maybe two thirds the size of its companions so problems have been going on for years and years
