The Honey fungus

Armillaria mellea is a basidiomycete fungus in the genus "Armillaria". It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected.
