Hi – we just moved into a new house in Sept last year and had some new trees planted around that same time frame. I just noticed this as everything is starting to come back to life with the warmer temps. Is this bad news?
Depends if you like mushrooms or not, if you do then it’s good news, you get free mushrooms!
Remove excess mulch from trunk and nursery stick.

Its probably because the roots are buried. You should expose the root flare and remove the stake attached to it. And the tape!!! Remove the green tape as soon as possible!

It’s highly possible that the fungi are just feeding on the woodchips. Break it up and see what you find

Decaying would . Hopefully just mulch breaking down

I don’t know how to post a picture update, but I moved the mulch away and looks like it was just a thick layer of mushrooms in the mulch. Doesn’t look like any were on the actual tree or roots.
