Root parasite growing on one of my willows.
Comments on this photo
It is slowly spreading Karen. Was hoping it would move to other trees. I dont think it affects the host tree.

It has spread alot to be fair. I did move pieces to other trees last year but I cannot see any life on their roots. I like it because its unusual and flowers early.
