If its Armillaria/Mushroom root rot or Oak root rot (same thing) it may not have any mushrooms unless it is a large tree. The smaller trees will have a white material just below the soil line, if examined under a microscope it will be a mat of white lines of fungus crisscrossing to form a mat. If that is the problem there is not much you can do except remove the tree and the soil in the hole for about the distance of the roots before replanting or leave the area without a tree for about three years before replanting.

Subject: [NAFEX] Advice for apricot failure?

Haven't seen anyone suggest Armillaria as the culprit.

Sudden wilting due to girdling by the fungal mat under the bark at the soil line. Are there any small brown mushrooms popping up on the trunk at the soil line?
