You need to spray with a fungicide and possibly remove some shade. Contrary to this posting, "fairy ring" mushrooms are not harmful to anything and do not require any treatment. Certainly no need to spray any more toxic chemicals into the environment. They are the fruiting bodies of a fungus which assists in the decompostion of woody elements (old tree roots, etc) under the soil surface. They are temporary in nature, tending to be most prevelent in the damp, cool temps of spring and will disappear with summer heat. Raking away the 'shrooms will satisfy appearance considerations. Improving soil fertility will help as well, so consider aerating, thatching and applying appropriate fertilizer as well. pam - gardengal |

I don't know were it came from or how to get rid of it can you please help me? thank you When the mushrooms erupt, you're supposed to go out in the moonlight & dance around inside the ring rattling two sets of spoons while chanting "OOM biggabiggabigga OOM biggabiggabigga, Oo woh Oo woh, yop yop yidda-diddle!" After about an hour of this precise incantation, elves will rise up out of the earth, & dryads issue from the bushes, & grant you three boons if you are first willing to participate in their orgy. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. -from Peter Newell's "Wild Flowers" See the Garden of Paghat the Ratgirl: http://www.paghat.com/ |

Have you seen any alien spacecraft flying overhead recently ? |
