Honey fungus spreads by underground rhizomorphs (bootlaces). It finds a tree, enters via the collar at gound/soil juction, kills the tree then uses the dead wood as a sugar (food) source while it forages on via more bootlaces. Or it finds a lump of dead tree and uses it in the same way. It's one of our commonest fungi. How come there are still trees in the UK? ;-) -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
