I was asked the other day what I knew about the fruiting body of a fungal pathogen responsible for the characteristic lesion of Diamond Back 
Willow and it's use as a medicine by natives in northern Canada (smoked I believe).  Unfortunately I was not able to provide an answer.  Can anyone else shed any light?
Thank you,
