My mature choisya ternata looks almost dead. As I was removing the worst branches, I noticed a nearby spirea had a lot of branches that had fallen off at the base. One of them had tiny honey-coloured nodules and some others have mottled white spots. Is this the dread honey fungus?
The first photo shows a resupinate fungus on dead wood; and the the second one is a jelly fungus similar to Witches Butter, also growing on dead wood. They are definitely not honey mushrooms, genus Armillaria, which look like typical mushrooms with a cap and stalk, coloured vaguely like honey.
