Depends if it’s honey fungus. That stuff killed three of my beautiful trees and even after two years fallow the soil still killed another. I’ve had to buy honey fungus resistant trees like Olive trees. 🙁

Looks like honey fungus, which is bad news for your tree, I’m afraid.

Aye, looks like Honey Fungus. Likely Armillaria mellea. With this level of fruiting bodies, the mycelium is having a feast.

Yep. It will.
Looks like honey fungus.
Sadly my front garden is a barren wasteland having killed 4 trees, a couple of bushes and a full hedge. Currently have mushrooms that have grown last couple of weeks. Gonna need to destroy the bastards this weekend.
But yeah. If that spreads (which it will) most of your garden is done in the next couple of years unless you can destroy the roots which is next to impossible.
Sorry OP.

RHS says the only way to eradicate is to dig it up and fill the trench with petrol and burn the soil 🙁
Yes,slowly. Cherry trees are not good with fungus.

Hey op, I [posted a similar question](https://www.reddit.com/r/GardeningUK/s/zRCU9xBcQU) and quite a few people said I shouldn’t worry.
I had an arborist out & 3 of my beech trees have to go. I would advise you consult an expert. Good luck.
