Being eaten from the inside out
Old beech tree

An old beech tree, seen from a distance still very much alive. But once you get close, a true drama unfolds before your eyes. The old forest giant is being eaten from the inside out. The culprit:psathyrella piluliformis fungi. A fascinating, though morbid scene. The story of an old tree that holds on to life. And of dozens of beautiful fringed caps that live thanks to the tree.
