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 second photo shows a resupinate fungus on dead wood; and the the first 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.
Sorry to hear about your Choisya Nichelle. There can be many species fungi inhabiting a tree, and more on/in a stressed/damaged tree. Some fungi may be causing damage/death, others may have different roles such as decomposing already dead wood. The jelly Vitog mentioned is likely eating another fungus, possibly your resupinate.
