Greetings -
We've had an exceptionally wet spring, summer, and now
autumn in the deep south, USA. I've been having
problems with various fungus growths on the wood that
most of my orchids are mounted upon, primarily
grapevine wood.
After consulting our county agent, I used a Bordeaux
mixture on the mounts (also some mushroomy wood and
lined wire baskets); this pretty well eliminated the
mushroom and tree-ear type of fungus, but I still have
something that appears to be lichen creeping over a
lot of the wood.
Any suggestions on an attack for this? I can scrape
off the ruffled edges, but the flat parts are just too
smooth, and I'd like to kill off whatever spores are
causing this growth. Not unattractive, but still...
Regards - Nancy
