Habitat
"Armillaria tabescens" is found in warm and dry regions, so it tends to be in southern areas. It has also been found in altitudes ranging from sea level to 1,300 metres. Studies in Europe have found that it exists in south-east England, France, Italy, Portugal, Greece and, rarely, Germany and Switzerland. In Japan, it is very rare; only one isolate of "Armillaria tabescens" was found out of 59 sites surveyed."Armillaria tabescens" grows quickly at 28–30 °C and more slowly at 5 °C. If the soil is moist, fruiting bodies are abundant. It is the first to fruit in September, compared to "Armillaria mellea" and "Armillaria gallica". The fruiting bodies can be seen even earlier if the season has been exceptionally wet. "Armillaria tabescens" grows poorly on sand and produces shorter rhizomorphs. Rhizomorphs are threadlike structures in fungi that are made up of hyphae. Hyphae are branching structures that release enzymes to absorb nutrients from the host.
