Disease spots at the trunk base of evergreen/coniferous hedge trees. Possibly armillaria root disease?
on wood chips, very soft and stringy (kind of like cotton candy), rained for a few hours before these photos were taken. no distinct pores or stipe.
ID could be wrong- i’m very open to suggestions.
There was a small fiberglass boat placed here for kids to ply on. It had about 6 inches of rain water in it, so I turned it over to prevent mosquito breeding and before it would get any heavier with continued rain.
This stuff was growing under it.
