    Oh dear, I put them in the garden and no improvement, didn't notice any fungus on them, but very small roots as if they'd not grown at all. Thanks for info

    im 99.9% sure its Honey Fungus

    this is a cane i pulled up, you can see the fungus on the bottom, and then the 2nd pic is the plant that was being held up by the cane, its dead.....

    i have a tree nearby with a patch of white on the bark.......i guess thats where it came from, and the effected plants also have tiny roots when i pull them up. the honey fungus is spread via roots and effects roots......

    seems theres no cure either but to dig up the effected area and not plant there for a year...........noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

    have a close inspection of your garden, see if you can find this white stuff anywhere too

    It is very unusual for honey fungus to attack annuals or perennials.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    The marigold I had in the same pot is fine, flowering beautifully, strange that's not been infected with any fungus. Wish I'd left the Osteospurmum in the tubs now, may have spread it into soil

    Dandylions and nettles all seem fine!
