Ohia trees are dying rapidly, Why?

Gypsy's observations may be connected. We know for sure fungus is involved since the mushrooms came to surface to generate spores.

The reason his grass died is a dense fungal mat of mycelia is just below the surface. This mat uses up available water and nutrients. Further the mat acts to deflect water.

It is in ring form since it grows outward. Once an area has been been affected, the nutrients needed for the fungus are gone. It dies in this area. So the center of the ring fills back in with grass.

Now go to Leilani and watch a D9. It lays the entire lot level, and sometimes directly buries tons of food for termites and fungus. The purpose is to install a nice big flat lawn that we fertilize.

That lawn, the ammonia In the fertilizer and all that buried Ohia is the perfect setup for an explosion in the fungus that can be spread by the wind.

We know Ohia roots are shallow too.

To prove this go to Gypsy's house and look at his lawn. Mainly under that dead grass and healthy grass. Now go find a recent dead area of Ohia. Do you see same dense mat? Compare to healthy Ohia area.

This fungus may be killing Ohia with zero evidence you can observe above the soil level. It might be starving the area below the Ohia of an essential nutrient especially the one called water.

I wager Ohia need water.

If it fungus, the standing timber in these dead Ohia trees represent a continual source of spores to infect more trees. Shouldn't they be cut down, wood processed for any value and branches burned?

How to prevent this in next post.
