Any suspected cases can be reported to local forest health specialists here.Ĭontrolling outbreaks is possible, though difficult, according to the DNR. The DNR maintains an online map with known locations of HRD outbreaks. The fungus itself is most visible on seedlings, saplings, and tree stumps. It often shows up in clumps of trees that seem to die off one at a time. HRD can spread through connected conifer roots. HRD is a rotting fungus which decays the wood of the roots, causing trees to develop stringy yellow rot that causes stems to break off. Particularly on the department’s radar is heterobasidion root disease (HRD), a severe fungal infection that targets pines, spruces and other conifers in Wisconsin. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is asking for the public to check needle-bearing trees for signs of harmful disease and to report those findings to the DNR.
