I believe they "bleed" dull red resin. Although whether that is the oaks
or
the Rhododododos I don't know.

I believe so, but I was basing part one of my question on Rod's comment
over the lack of "proper" post mortems.
So, how often might a death have being attributed to honey fungus in spite
of lack evidence of actual honey fungus. (mushroom / bootlace)?
And where a mushroomy whiff was the only circumstantial evidence, might that
have been seized as complete proof?
The dull resin bleed is, I think, more pre-mortem.
