Clay soil?

 

Saprobic on just general wood detritus in your garden or anything specific?

No it's just in woody mulch.

 

I found loads yesterday at the base of a Liriodendron tulipifera, a compression fork at the base had torn off a few years ago, leaving no chance of recovery in that sector. I reckon the root on that side must increasingly be in a bad way.

I reckon so

 

I've usualy found them in deep leaf litter or very long grass associated with deciduous woodland, though Roger Phillips has them with mixed woodland also.
