Wonder how long gardeners have been noticing the odd mysterious plant
death? Very few gardeners do a proper post mortem or get one done, so

I wonder.... from those mysterious plant deaths, how many have been put down
to honey fungus?
Do sudden oak deaths result in a mushroomy whiff from the remains and
especially at root level?
