And that is a common way for blue stain fungus to spread. If those beetles moved to another tree, then they can transport that blue stain fungus to another tree. It doesn't only affect oaks.

The blue stain fungus travels from tree to tree on a special structure in the beetle’s mouthparts. This is its means to travel to new trees.

Burkum's interest in fungus began as a graduate student at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C., studying mushrooms that fruit underground in the high forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

But the one that I was most glad to see was gyroporus (blue-staining bolete). When seen from above, it is not so impressive. The mushroom is only 4 or 5 inches tall and light brown-tan in color.
