Fungal growths on the trunk of a tree

These outgrowths look very textured. They are like pineapples, which are drowned in the trunk of a tree. I decided to figure out and find out what this strange thing is happening to the tree trunk. It turns out that one of the layers of wood is called a cambium. This layer allows to grow fungal tumors that parasitize on the trunk of a tree. These growths in the early stages can be removed if they have appeared. They cut with a garden knife, or a saw, and process the cutoff with an antiseptic. In the late stages of the disease, it does not make sense. One way to avoid such a neighborhood is to watch for the absence of damage to the bark of the tree. It is through the cracks and clumps of the bark that the fungi penetrate and begin to develop. I noticed that there were similar growths on neighboring trees, which means that trees can not be planted close to each other, the diseases are quickly transferred from one tree to another.

Because they are selfish.

not proper sunlight in this tree.

Thank you, @omg04 ! These trees were in the shadow of large poplars, and the sunlight was scattered. I could not cut down poplars at the moment, but next time I'll go there with a chainsaw))

You just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake.
