Red Chinese Maple fungus

[pcdrifter]

Had a customer call about his Chinese maple, he stated it has large fungus growing on the trunk and the bark looks moldy. Any ideas on what this could be or and a suitable treatment would be greatly appreciated.

This is actually becoming a pet peave of mine...can we make pictures mandatory on this and the homeowner helper forum?

Is this a true Chinese maple, Acer pentaphyllum, or the more common Japanese maple, Acer palmatum?

I sincerely hope you are able to post pictures.

Good idea--maybe a sticky? I will ask a mod.
