how do you know this for sure? do you investigate all the roots of the trees you see displaying O. mucida in the crown?

 

In beech, there's an one on one connection between a major branch and a major root, which implicates, that if you completely cut one of them off, you will kill the other without the tree being able to compensate for the loss.

The mycelium of O. mucida lives close to, but just outside the area of living tissue of a branch, which dies of other causes. As a root parasite "travels" outward in on/in a root, O. mucida shifts and moves along in the direction of the base of the branch. Once the FB's of O. mucida reach the attachment of the branch to the tree, one can often see the root parasite fruiting at the same time at the base of the trunk underneath it.
