Armillaria takes another one

[treedoc1]

30" Red Oak, slight bottle butt
White rot throughout roots. A little wind toppled this one over.
Our dry summers have really played havoc on the marginal trees.
We have seen a half a dozen topple over in the past few weeks.

Always sad to see a good tree go, but at least you won't have to feel guilty cutting it up for firewood.

what makes you suspect armillaria? did you peel the bark off and find white fans? looks like construction damage.
