Default Toadstools

The message
from "Janice" contains these words:

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?


Leave them. Most fungi are beneficial or neutral in their effect. Very
few are killers, and of those that have the name for it, the jury's
still out.


I bet the ratio poisonous/edible green plants is far worse than the same
ratio for macroscopic fungi.
The trouble lies entirely with the ignorance of almost everybody, and the
fact that all mushrooms have more or less the same morphology
