In this short, we look at a deadly fungus pathogen!
----------------------------------------
Possible Misidentification (Comment if you want to correct me):
I am very unsure about this one, but kretzschmaria deusta is the closest I have. Kretzschmaria deusta is under-recorded since it can easily go unnoticed once darkened. The ones I found are probably immature.

Terms:
Lignin: "a class of complex organic polymers that form key structural materials in the support tissues of most plants" (Wikipedia, n.d.)

Heartwood: "the older harder nonliving central wood of trees that is usually darker, denser, less permeable, and more durable than the surrounding sapwood" (Merriam Webster, n.d.)

How I Do My Research:
I heavily rely on a park's details or an organization that has the information on the plants. It would be a pdf file, on their website, a brochure, etc. inaturalist, Picture Mushroom and PlantNet are great identifying tools.

Disclaimer:
I am not an expert in botany, but rather 100% an amateur. Please correct me if I make a mistake or if you want to add some more information. And... just because a source SAYS you can eat DOES NOT mean that you absolutely should. Do your research!!! And please take a joke as a joke :)
