Fungus
This picture was taken in Bolingbrook, IL near my house. In my neighborhood their is a nearby lake that has lots of trees and most of them seem to grow fungus of all different colors and sizes. Most fungus aren't harmful to trees and some are even beneficial. When fungus attaches itself to a host it grows rapidly and over long distances. Fungi can capture water and nutrients from far away and bring them back closer to the plants roots. Fungi also serve the function of pest and disease control. With an increase of water and nutrients trees are now more healthy and can fight off pests and diseases. Some fungi however can grow and enter and start to feed on tree shrubs.
