    That is a willow. That has a really good chance of rooting in water as it makes its own rooting hormone.

    I really don't know for sure without seeing a picture but from your description sounds like a weeping willow.... What color is the bark?

    Willow, Weeping (Salix babylonica) Fruit Description:
    This tree produces a fruit 1/4 inch in diameter, brown, leaves no litter to speak of.
    They do have a very extensive root system and will "look" for any available water source include septic systems. So do consider carefully the location if you chose to plant one of these lovely trees.

    Fall is a great time to transplant. You will want to dig up as much of the rootball as possible, and when you move it, cut back the plant by about 1/3. Make sure to water it well too after transplanting.

    It is possible that the tree has developed some rotting from sitting water or a fungal infection within the hole, which is causing the mushroom growth. Try cleaning out the hole and check for moisture. Then treat with a fungicide to see it this helps.

    It would be helpful if I can see a picture (you can send one attached to your answer notice email). But, off the top of my head, I would suspect that you have woolly aphids. This article may help:
