Yes :-)

The bit you see is the fruiting body, and removing it doesn't
weaken it at all. While it would stop it spreading spores, it
is not very infectious from spores and the spores are everywhere
in most of the UK. It MIGHT reduce the chances of infection,
but I haven't heard that it does, at least significantly.

The best way to weaken it is to remove all infected wood that
is close to the surface. It does not thrive well on deep roots.
But even that is of marginal benefit, traditional though the
advice is.

Don't bother with toxins to kill it. You would need to soak
the ground to the depth of 2+' with seriously nasty substances.

Regards,
Nick Maclaren.

OK - that's another job I can cross off my list!

If it is nasty - how can I stop it spreading?
