 Today, we're going to talk about the diseases and insects that are on the 4-H Alabama State Forestry List. I'm Scott Ennebeck, Professor of Forest Pathology at School of Forestry at Auburn University, and we're going to do them group-wise. And the first group we have here is FOMIS anosis. FOMIS anosis is a root decay organism found throughout the southern United States, and these are its fruiting bodies that you find. Typically you'll find them at the base of a tree, along the stumps, along the roots. They're a very messy fungus or fruiting body, and what I mean by that is they always seem to have the leaves and the litter layer associated with it. The other thing that's interesting with this particular one, the top will be brown, or brown, but they have a white margin, brown with a white margin. All of these are brown with a white margin, they have a litter layer. If you turn it over, it'll be white. You have a white layer, if you look really closely with the hand limbs, you'll see it has pores. Here's another one. The top, it's got a brown top, white margin, it's got the pores, and it's kind of what I would say gnarly or maybe looks like an ear. All of these, you turn them over at the white bottom, and you can differentiate this from the other fungi we'll talk about later. This again, white bottom, this is foamy's anosis. Another symptom of foamy's anosis is the kind of decay it causes, and it causes a white stringy rot, and here's a piece of root that I dug up from a tree, and what happens is the fungus decays the wood system, and it comes apart like string cheese, although it's too dry for too bad, it pulls apart, it's white and stringy. This is foamy's anosis. It's got a brown top, it usually has littered layer associated with it, leaves, it's got a white margin, and underneath will be white, but it'll be bumpy, and not flat, and we'll talk about the flat one later.
