Beech Tree disease or what?

I like beech bowls.

In the spring of the year those darn beechnuts will send a radical straight down through the leaf pile when the snow vacates and before the duff dries out. One spring I walked up a steep hillside and the beechnuts had all sprouted , looked weird with them sitting out on top of the leaf litter with big long sprouts. Couldn't have been any deer or bear around that fall before.

Here is a beech bowl from an earlier tree that fell during Katrina.
