Fairy rings are a brighter green than the surrounding grass. That's usually the case, and as far as I can see on my 'lawn' the rings have no serious effect. However, we're talking the sort of grass that can trip you up and steal your wallet... not the namby-pamby stuff that dies back when ( heavens! ) someone steps on it. I would suggest that the die back is indicative of another problem, and the fungus has simply moved in to take advantage of the conditions - which is what fungus does. Being at the scene of the crime it tends to get labeled a suspect. You have to admire the tenacity of the fungus - you've nuked it with Armillotox and still it comes back to taunt you! The real test would be to see if the ring moves - a genuine fungal ring will grow each year as the spores spread out radially. Personally, I blame the aliens.. has anyone noticed the weather lately.. eh eh?? 'Nuff said!

I would be tempted to blame aliens, spiders,concrete in fact anything if I
could find out what having dug down 12 inches and found nothing and since it was a plant nursery before our house was built 28 yrs ago and there certainly was no concrete when the earth moving and landscape people did the patio i am beginning to think that its something leaching up into the top soil although its mighty odd that its only happened in last 4 or 5 years Anyone know any experts on this kind of thing I could get to do some tests "Mary Fisher" wrote in message t...

The message
from "bnd777" contains these words: Seem to have a Fairy ring on my lawn Large horseshoe shape of lawn that no matter what I do the grass dies it does get clutches small brown roundheaded toadstools on it from time to time but is not heavily infested Have dug out all the turf and soil to 12 inches and replaced with fresh soil and turf this spring and it looked fine but now its all dead again same thing for last few years Have watered with Armillotox Have checked for chafer grubs Sounds like Merasmius oreades. Don't eat them raw, but they are excellent cooked in stews, or fried. They dry brilliantly, and on rehydration are indistinguishable from fresh - apart from the absence of the bitter almond smell. Just make sure they *ARE* Merasmius oreades, and keep the area well watered and thank The Lord for the natural harvest. If you *MUST* get rid of them, remove about six inches of soil from outside the ring, as well as the green ring. You *MAY* be lucky, but I doubt it. Forget about the dead stuff behind - this will soon grow over. The mycelium grows outwards, and as the old mycelium dies, it nourishes the grass, causing the darker colour. -- Rusty http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm horrid·squeak snailything zetnet·co·uk excange d.p. with p to reply. |
