Well having put my heart & soul into levelling and returfing the garden,
it's now covered in mushrooms!!!!

I have two young children so I'm concerned that perhaps they could be

Seems reasonable.

- would a garden
fertisiler do the trick?


are they mushrooms or fungii?


Mushrooms are fungi. There are very few seriously poisonous fungi
in the UK, children rarely eat them, and fewer people die from
fungus poisoning than from aircraft falling on their heads. In
other words, don't panic.

And, no, you can't eliminate fungi, not even by covering the lawn
in concrete.
