How long can I leave there are mushrooms growing at the bottom of my tree before it becomes dangerous?
Answered for Mooresville, Morgan County.
A fruiting body is the reproductive organ of a fungus that has already been eating the inside of the tree for years. By the time anything shows on the outside, decay is established in the root plate or the butt of the stem — the exact structural zone that holds the tree upright. This is the one common finding where an outwardly healthy tree can come over whole, roots and all, in an ordinary thunderstorm. It is an anchorage question, not a branch question. In Mooresville — Highland Meadows, Hadley Highlands and Rooker Run included, that's normally a hazardous tree removal job at $800–$5,000. Within weeks.
Why this comes up in Mooresville
An F1 tornado hit Mooresville itself on April 19, 1996, injuring five people and causing $2M in damage. The September 20, 2002 F3 that struck Martinsville, about 12 miles south, injured 28 and did $15M in property damage. An EF2 touched down near the Martinsville Airport on March 31, 2023 ($7.52M). NWS Indianapolis logs 23 Morgan County tornadoes from 1950-2025, 47 total injuries and about $30.3M in property damage. Morgan County was also hit hard in the June 2008 floods, with Paragon roughly 90% underwater after about 10 inches of rain.
Mooresville's canopy
The 1950s-60s core carries trees that are now 65-70 years old — full-size shade trees planted with the houses, well over the rooflines and into the primary conductors. Because the town's code contains no tree chapter and no approved-species list, plantings were never steered toward or away from any species, and ash is gone to emerald ash borer as everywhere in central Indiana.
Morgan County rules
Mooresville's codified ordinances contain no trees, shrubs or urban forestry chapter anywhere in the code — nothing comparable to Franklin's street tree permit scheme — and there is accordingly no permit requirement to remove a tree on private property. General nuisance provisions (Title IX, Chapter 91) and the Public Ways and Property chapter (Title XV, Chapter 151) are the only places a dangerous or obstructing tree would be reached.
