torquill: A sweet potato flower (gardening)
This is really only of interest to gardeners, but if you are one and you've been told that some of your favorite plants have been dying from the oak root fungus (Armillaria mellea), the foremost question in your mind is "how do I deal with it?" Resistant plants are about the only answer.

Unfortunately, the UC guidelines for susceptibility are about 20 years out of date, and the updated list Dr. Bob Raabe created after several years of research has never been published. Since people need this information, I converted the PDF to HTML and posted it here: Plants Resistant to the Oak Root Fungus. You will find easy-to-read tables of resistant and susceptible plants there, and a link to the PDF for download.

It's currently hosted on my personal server; it may move to a spot on the UC Botanical Gardens site or one of the Master Gardener websites if we figure out where it would be best. I didn't want to delay getting it out there any longer, however. If it moves, I'll provide a redirect so you can still find it at the above link.
