Honey Fungus: What To Grow?

  • Are you sure it's honey fungus?  There are other fungi that  attack dead and dying wood - it's how such things decompose and disappear. 

     Honey fungus will affect roses, but clematis are not thought to be susceptible - here is a list of the plants most commonly attacked and others that are sometimes susceptible  http://www.rhs.org.uk/Media/PDFs/Advice/HoneyFungusList

    Good luck.

    If I fell sycamores with hony fungus can I replant in the same area.

    even if I wait a year or two.

  • It depends what you want to plant there Sam.  I wouldn't plant sycamores there again if that's what you're thinking of.  You need to find something you like that is resistant to the honey fungus.

    There's a list here showing those most susceptible and those that show good resistance https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/pdfs/honey-fungus-host-list

    I wouldn't plant sycamore anyway!

    Is honey fungus really Phytophthera, Verdun?  That's definitely potato blight etc., which is very different.  I thought it was Armillaria or something like that?
