Fungus trace ?

As usual from me , not the greatest of photos - just used my mobile. Digging out a Red Robin shrub , I noticed this white fungus type growth around the roots - bottom left quarter of photo. Is this just normal decay spores ? There does seem to be some rotting roots in these flower beds from somewhere.

TIA

 

cant help with the spore id sorry @HarryS ...but noticed this hasn't had any replies since you posted on Tuesday ...so thought at the very least my reply would bump it up in the hope that other the GC members would see it and be able to offer advice - do hope you get it sorted

 

Not a clear picture Harry but I sense there is nothing to worry about.
Are you digging out a Red Robin that has died or is dying? Or was there something else nearby that was removed, died, etc.?
Anything decaying will produce fungal growths......I removed the roots of a large shrub (Eleagnus) last year after removing it some 4 years ago. There were, and expected, remains of rotting wood.
For me, yes, normal decay spores and I wouldn't overthink this Harry
Be interesting to read any others' views or experiences about this

 

Thanks beehappy and Verdun , The red robin was OK I am just moving it . I think it is just normal fungal decay possibly from some bark chippings that got mixed in with the planting. Nothing to worry about.

 

Think you're right Harry, not something I would worry about......lots of harmless decaying matter in the soil
