My peach tree is 5 or 6 years old and the honey mushrooms haven't affected it yet. It's about 15' from the stumps of 3 oaks that died around the time I planted it (I think it was a combination of stress from honey mushroom, gypsy moths, and drought over a 2-year period). They haven't affected the young apricot nearby, as far as I can tell, though it's a pretty wimpy tree to begin with. I'm not having a lot of luck with apples, pears, asian pears, and quinces, but it might not be honey mushrooms killing the seedlings.
