Field Notes

Habitat:

Armillaria mellea is widely distributed in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

Notes:

It causes root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected. The main part of the fungus is underground where a mat of mycelial threads may extend for great distances.
