Shelf Fungus
Leave dead trees and shrubs standing (as long as they are not in a dangerous place) to decompose naturally.
Unwanted plants or trees can be killed by ring-barking and left to provide a source of decaying wood. Make two thick cuts, about 20 cm apart, around the trunk and deep enough to cut through the bark and into the wood. The bark between the two cuts should also be stripped from the tree.
Ring -barking individual shrub stems also produces standing decaying wood without killing the whole plant.
Ring-barked plants will sprout from below any wounds and may need continual cutting of growth to completely kill the plant.
Leave old stumps to decay naturally and only remove them if necessary.
