It can be, so it's worth being vigilant. Some things are more susceptible
than others and weak or damaged plants are possible victims. The old apple
tree I had in a previous garden died some time before I bought the house and
the owner kept the stump and grew things up it, which died. I put a
Kiftsgate rose up it (silly moi!) and the stump was attacked by honey
fungus. This was in a walled garden and within a year or two a lilac and a
couple of pear trees had died. But for the OP the first question is, does
the fungus actually smell of honey? You used to be able to get Armillatox
to treat the ground with but I don't know if it's still available or is one
of those EU 'banned substance' thingies.

I bought 5 litres of the stuff on-line recently.
