Some weather background because this guy was fine before this past weekend. This past Saturday, we had severe storms with winds up to 70mph in some areas. Then we had 3" of rain in a period of 2 days. This was followed by 2 cool, cloudy days. Then, we've had extremely high humidity and warm days, but very little sunshine. I now have mushrooms growing everywhere! (It's been gross outside!) I find this last night as I was checking the beds. It's at the base of the plant, almost underground. Looks like a white fungus type growth...maybe a split in the base of the plant? The plant itself looks healthy, but I'm concerned about the base of it. I'll post 2 pics.
