Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I received the following e-mail, may be one of you can answer the questions: ================================================================== Hi, OK, please bare with me for a little while. I have an apricot tree with a large (14 " -7 " ) what I would call a (hard) toad stool growing on the lower trunk. I know this is a fungus that is probably eating the inner xylem. Not good, but really not my Question. I want to know if there is any possibility that a fungus growing in this way might add toxin to the fruit? Is there any history of this? I am the only person in my family who really gluttonizes on its fruit and I've developed a rare Polyneuropathy over the past few years. I know I am grasping at straws but is there anything in any literature or old almanacs that the fruit growers of old knew and might help us back yard farmers learn. And yes, how do I get rid of the fungus? Thanks so much, Craig Salvage ================================================================= Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Spray with a strong baking soda/water solution every day and two weeks after it dies. Don't know about neuro problems caused by fungus. People eat mushrooms and some are medicinal mushrooms. Perhaps someone else knows.
