Hi, can anyone advise please?
I've had a new lawn laid when my garden was landscaped about 15 months
ago. Everything has been fine and I've maintained the lawn so it's
been weed free. However (possibly due to recent heavy rain) recently
there have been loads of small brown toadstalls popping up everywhere.
Can anyone suggest the best way of dealing with this problem?
Thanks,
Simon
Mow them down. The toadstools are the fruiting bodies of the fungus
which spreads by way of tiny threads (mycelium) in the soil. They
only fruit in the right conditions (i.e. plenty of rain) and in drier
conditions you probably won't see them at all. Almost impossible to
get rid of.
