Viburnam collapsed with spongy wood - seeking possible cause

Now I have three shaggy inkcaps in an isolated piece of lawn that has never ever had any fungi before. No, I don't understand it, either.

They contain that basis of anatabuse which can make it unpleasant if you do. This time of year all the fungi respond the the first frosts with fruiting bodies and annoyingly the ones in my lawn are yellow stainers rather than proper edible mushrooms. I have plenty of other species but none of them are remote edible or apetising to look at. I think you get fungus if the bark gets damaged in any way, and once there, if its the right sort it just kills everything by tapping into the sap bearing channels. So roots survive, but anything above the fungus does not. I can't think of fungi specific to viburnums but based on the most common cause of trouble in waterlogged ground phytophthora seems plausible. https://www.rhs.org.uk/Advice/profile?pid=542 If the root is healthy it might be worth leaving it to produce new shoots. OTOH it may be the roots where it originated. A search on the RHS plant disease page might yield something. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

(lawyers wigs) https://gallowaywildfoods.com/shaggy...ion-edibility/ I think they have the most delicious and delicate flavour bar none. Never commercially available because they auto digest in hours The antabuse ones are the 'common' inkcap This time of year all the fungi respond the the first frosts with fruiting bodies and annoyingly the ones in my lawn are yellow stainers rather than proper edible mushrooms. I have plenty of other species but none of them are remote edible or apetising to look at. I found one small field mushroom...
