This morning I had a closer look in the light and stripped away all the excess growth. In retrospect I really should have been on top of that, I had no idea how crazy things were getting down there. So I dug out the rot which went into the stem about 1/2" at most, it was mostly superficial from what I could tell and didn't go that deep. Probably Fusarium of some sort, infection possibly caused by a combination of sudden cooler conditions, damp and poor ventilation. All I can do for now is dust with sulphur and ventilate with the fan. Today I will check out which fungicide products I can get which might be useful. I don't think the rest of the main vine or anywhere else is infected - for now at least. Pumpkin seems fine and I'll measure it tomorrow.
