Today I was losing up the topsoil of my Licuala peltata var sumawongii and I think I found  4 separate spikes underneath the topsoil all white topped. Not sure whether I am right or something else growing there. They are hard to the touch. Anyone has experienced this?

I have a feeling these palms can send up "breathing" roots if the soil is really wet all the time. Vaguely remember seeing them on some I used to own.

Yes, they are a fungi. I think that they are harmless, we have had them from time to time.

Further googling should confirm this.

Cheers Steve

It is not dead, it is just senescence.
