It is supposed to live on well-rotted wood but this was on a standing tree.

The stereos are crosseye and conventional.

These look good still.

What is the stage called when they are starting to die back? Dissinquential or something like that (past their best)?

Thanks, Paul.

If there is a special term, I have never heard it used by the specialists I socialise with.

I now see that the tree trunk, although standing, had lost its bark, was riddled with insect burrows and is clearly at the recycling stage.
