Default apple fruitlets gone

We planted a discovery apple tree last May. Last month it had lots of
blossom, when the blossom died off it had the look of lots of tiny
fruitlets, so many in fact that we worried would it be able to carry the
weight of them all. Now nothing!!...not one fruitlet, they've all withered
and died . Last month I found a fungus growing near it about 6-8" away
from it if memory serves, I wondered if the two were related? If not what's
gone wrong?, there's also very few leaves left on the poor thing, it looks
really bedraggled. I haven't fed it at all this year and kept it watered
during the "summer spell" we had earlier.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
