Only one way to find out, cut it and see. Try to find a wood turners forum and offer it on there, you should find someone who will be pleased to take it.

Depending on the fungi present and the types of woodrot they cause, the answer is yes. The below photo shows, what kind of pattern the soft rotter K. deusta can "create" in beech.
