Default Toadstools

I have lots of toadstools in my garden - in the grass and in the borders
growing on old tree stumps. Can they be left alone or do I need to dig

them
ouut, or use a fungicide, or what?

Thanks


They are a normal, harmless part of the natural breakdown of the wood. You
don't need to do anything. Fungicide is harmful, and pointless because the
toadstools will always come back while the stumps are still there. If you
really don't want them then you'll have to dig up the stumps. Far better to
leave them alone unless you need the space where the stumps are.
Don't try to eat them - unless you have expert, trustworthy advice.
