Perhaps, but it's grossly overstated as a problem. If it were half
as lethal as is made out, none of the older English woodland would
exist.

As far as I know, there is no proof that it ever transfers between
hosts via the bootlaces or other mycelium but no clear evidence that
it doesn't.

Fungi are positively beneficial and serve to dispose effectively of dead
material which would otherwise polute the environment.
