Hi All

Can anybody recommend any treatment to stop Toadstools growing in my lawn.
The lawn is pretty newly laid and dies have good drainage.

Simon

Ignore them and they will soon go away. Their food will have
been consumed.
There is no treatment available or necessary~~Just a matter of time. Their
life is quite ephemeral and the mower will make short work of them!

You have the makings of a fairy ring .......they are devouring my lawn
Remove every single toadstool and put in dustbin not compost
You may need in the end to take drastic measures like digging up the entire
top 14 inches of soil and lawn and removing it

some idiot has left tree roots/stupms to rot underground and its that which
is feeding the fungi

The fungi which make fairy rings are not the same ones that feed on
rotting wood!

Eh? Why? That is complete insanity. "Brian" is quite right.

Yes, and neither are (normally) harmful. A very few of the "fairy
ring" fungi will harm lawns, but the vast majority should be treated
as "Brian" says.

The vast majority of fungi are harmless in a garden, and some are
beneficial. Also, most of the harmful fungi do not produce large
fruiting bodies (toadstools).

If Fairy rings arent harmful why on earth have I got several large
semicircular very bald patches a good 8 inches wide the outer edges have
much darker grass and occasionally small headed toadstools appear ranging in
size from 1/8th of inch to 3/4 inch

The info and pictures on the RHS website show bald patches just like mine

If I dig the soil out theres a fine white mycelial type growth

The lawn is pretty newly laid and dies have good drainage.

Think positively: They are quietly making compost of something below
ground level.

I dont want compost!!

I just want a lawn that the kids can play on, without worrying they will
decide to eat them.

There's plenty of things in the garden that will harm them if they eat
them! Until you can be sure they won't eat anything without asking you
first, you're going to have to be watching them pretty closely. Mowing
the lawn will get rid of that crop of mushrooms, and you can keep an eye
out for when the next batch comes up.

By the way, the convention in this group is to bottom (or in line) post.
Top posting within this convention breaks the order of the thread and
makes answers more difficult to read.

Your grass will thrive on it.

Many of the plants in most gardens are either plain inedible or
seriously poisonous. So, fungi or not, you simply have to teach your
children not to put anything from the garden into their mouths without
permission from you.

The purpose of a parent is to educate his or her children.

I used chillis and nettles as teaching aids. They learnt VERY early
that asking me before eating anything was a wise decision. From
the age of two, I never had a problem - they would raid the carrots,
soft fruit etc. and avoid the laburnum, nightshade etc.

Worms were fine, too.
