Marie you are definately a Biologist ,& a scientist ,in this field,you are amazing,,,,I've seen this in many fruit trees over the years,this plant fungus actually attacks the tree,all you can do is cut of the effected area ,sometimes the whole tree,as it's actually spreading ,a pathogen,spreads like crazy,,it's a Cancer ,yes cancer in plant life.,as it's a fungus disease. wow what a find ,hopefully they can save this tree.,it's ugly to watch as it will take all the nuritionment from the tree,& it will die.

Artist Reply: thank you AL . I've been walking in this park for years , and this is the first time i've seen the trunk of the cherry tree covered with small purple mushrooms startin from the foot of the tree and very invasive; those mushrooms are very pretty to naked eyes but probably a parasite for the tree ..
