Prevention/Control: There is no known cure, but honey fungus tends to attack stressed plants, especially woody plants, so keep plants healthy by caring for them. Dig up and burn infected plants, removing as much of the roots as possible. If you replant, choose less susceptible plants and change the soil before planting. |

Honey fungus fruiting bodies are believed to be non-poisonous, though not particularly palatable. But since there is no cure apart from trying to keep your plants unstressed, you can at least get your own back by eating them! Best |

Treatment http://www.crocus.co.uk/pestscards/honeyfungus/ There are no chemical cures for honey fungus. Armillatox can be used to help sterilise the soil and keep any as yet uninfected plants healthy. Any infected plants should be dug up with as much of the root system as possible. The best thing to do is to plant resistant plants. Trees: yew, beech, box, oaks, cercis, catalpa. Shrubs: ceratostigma, choisya, cotinus, photinia, pieris, pittosporum, sarcococca, eleagnus, kerria, hebe, phlomis. Climbers: actinidia, abutilon, chaenomeles, clematis, passiflora http://www.shas.org.uk/whats-it-for/armillatox.shtml |
