Random dead ivy in woodland...

Hi again, any ideas on this situation?

About 10-20m inside a woodland edge I came across this sycamore covered in ivy, dead ivy. All the ivy on the floor around the tree, and on surrounding trees was perfectly healthy. The only thing different I could see about this tree was an advanced Kretz colonisation, with fruiting bodies extending also onto the ivy stems at the base of the tree.

I could see no reason for the ivy to be dead - no herbicides in this area, no cutting of ivy etc. Is it possible the Kretz has killed the ivy? I did break off some of the dead ivy stems at the base, and it was only slightly decayed, and not typical of Kretz rot - more like early white rot, and very minimal really. What do you reckon?
