Monday Morning Mystery 032017

This really neat mystery is brought to you by Eric and Deb Endresen. Eric took the photos. Deb wrote:

Eric took these pix in the woods in northeast PA earlier this winter.
 
He said that the tree was long dead, so he didn't suspect sap. He thought it was just frozen water that had turned color from the wood itself.
 
Have you or your readers ever seen anything like this before? I thought it was so unusual!
What do you think? (Thanks, Deb and Eric!) 2-20170227_104221

  • It’s dead tree drippings…a bacterial wetwood disease (also known as slim)…can emit an awful smell….occurs mostly on maples, poplars, oaks and birches. Saw this many years ago on a neighbor’s tree and researched it.
