It's endemic in woodalnd and a natural part of the life/death cycle.

Problem is, by definition, in gardens we are trying to bend nature to our
will and whim not allow it to follow it's natural path. If we want to put in
gardens plants which nature has selected out of regions with endemic honey
fungus or varieties which we hace selected for their pretty form but ignored
other aspects such as HF susecptibility, then we need to take
special/extraordianry measures to stop nature having it all its own way. A
bit like removing suckers from roses, bending nature to our will not letting
the plant revert.

I have to confess that I cannot follow the argument. Perhaps it is because
I am too much of a reductionist.

Probably no need to worry about it but if the fungus smells of honey, then
other trees or shrubs could be at risk. I suggest you check it by smelling
it and if it does, look up 'Honey Fungus' in the archives of this group, or
come back for more help and info.

Unlikely to be honey fungus at this time of year, especially since it's
white. If you can post photos somewhere (remove a cap, upend it and
place it in the picture), you never know, you might have breakfast
there.

I can't think of any poisonous white mushroom which grows on wood. It
would also help to know what type of tree it was.

Does it look like white 'antlers'? I've got this at the moment on rotting
logs in my garden. I think its called Stagshorn fungus and is apparently
harmless.
