Thank you, Lars. No problem with the name.
*asergio (sorry, misspelled your name)
aserio, they do basicly live as long as they are provided with energy from the deadwood they are growing on. With the cause of decay of the wood, the fungus dies itself.
Lars, what is the lifespam of a fungus like that? How long do they exist?
