Mushrooms growing at the base of a tree can be an early warning sign of root rot, a problem that develops underground and is easy for homeowners to miss until a tree fails.
Other signs worth watching for include soil that looks unusually soft or heaved near the trunk, and bark peeling away right at ground level. Any of these can mean the root system is compromised, which turns a healthy-looking tree into a real safety risk, especially in wind.
Greg Smith Tree Service offers professional inspections to catch root issues early and recommend the right course of action, whether that's monitoring, cabling, or removal.
