    The jelly fungus itself is not harmful to your tree, but it is a sign that the tree is sick or dying. These fungi only begin to grow once a tree is rotting due to other health problems. As this article explains, it's best to consult an arborist:

    Pine Tree roots can travel 2 to 3 times the width of the drip line.
    Pine Tree's are known to have invasive roots and most of the roots are within the top foot of the surface.

    A Crepe Myrtle root system in fibrous and close to the surface.

    Oak Tree roots have a tap root and the majority of roots lie within the top 18 inches of soil. The roots can occupy the space 4 to 7 times the width of the trees crown.

    My best guess is that you are seeing the Pine Tree roots.

    Yes, it is possible for the salt to effect, damage or kill the grass around the stump.

    These effects may be corrected after the stump has been removed.

    Your tree might still be alive, even if it loses all its leaves. It is difficult to tell how severe freeze damage is until the following spring. Your best option is to wait until next spring and see whether the tree puts out leaves again.

    If leaves grow on some parts of the tree but not others, and it's clear that some branches are dead, you can prune off the dead branches. Here is how to tell whether a tree is completely dead:

    We did not receive the images.

    What types of trees are affected? Researching a particular trees diseases can be helpful.

    Without pictures and this description is sounds like a crown gall infection.

    Depending on where you live, the coral tree could have been damaged by cold during the winter if it is less winter-hardy than most other trees in your area. Or, it could just be late in leafing out this year- see the following article:
    https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/tree-leafing-problems.htm

    Another possibility is that a disease or heavy insect infestation has damaged or killed your tree. Did you notice any unusual insect damage or leaf loss last year? Please see the links on the right side of the following page for some diseases and insect pests that may be a problem. Verticillium wilt is a possibility, because it can kill whole trees:
