I believe it is Kevin.

 

Both the failed oak and the standing oak we excavated today had decay in the bark, cork, phloem and cambium that presented as an orange/tan degraded volume with large holes which appeared filled with white mycelium. This would seem to be typical of simultaneous type rot.

 

The decay appeared not to be in the core of the roots.

 

If we get a chance we'll slice a root to show the decayed cross sections.

I'll be washing me boots after the next trip to the UK; that one isn't recorded across the Atlantic.

 

Striking documentation of a sinister saprotter. :sneaky2:

 

Very common here Guy, the Fungal Record Data Base of Britain and Ireland has close to 3000 records of it where it its Genus is named Gymnupus and not Collybia.

Surprised to hear/read that you don't have it Stateside.

 

 

The books that I referenced at the beginning only have it recorded on Quercus and Castanea, but I've found it on the above and Carpinus & Fagus also.
