Although, if it is Honey Fungus (supposedly edible although I can't personally vouch for that), you may need to review your planting strategy. Try to learn to live with nature rather reaching for the chemicals every time it does something you don't like. -- Larry Stoter |

It's probably not worth the bother. Rod |

For Gods sake what is up with you guys? I came here for a sensible answer to a sensible question. I have a sense of humour, but you people are just pillocks . . . |

"Carl" muttered something incoherent along the
lines of: For Gods sake what is up with you guys? I came here for a sensible answer to a sensible question. I have a sense of humour, but you people are just pillocks . . . You must be a fungi to be with then. -- MrMoosehead | I'm just an away team member in a red shirt...

Now, think laterally - there is another explanation. Just possibly, perhaps, maybe, on the off chance, couldn't it be the case that your question was NOT sensible? A serious answer to your question is that 80% of such questions are asked by trolls. You cannot kill a troll by responding reasonably or by insulting them, but you can by laughing at them. You were taken for a troll - if you aren't one, then reread the replies if you want to understand why.

I didn't think you were a troll but I still say that (most) of the replies have not been in jest. The slant might have been humorous but the advice is still sound. Mary |

Would you like to explain which part of my posting was rubbish, and why? As Mary Fisher points out, there is enough seriousness in the responses for you to work out why you looked very much like a troll. That is, if you aren't one.

I was hoping and believed I would find someone with a bit of knowledge on here. If I was taken for a troll then there is an awful lot of paranoia on here . . . Point one: If the mushrooms growing on your lawn are edible then you have the makings of a fine feast....if you have any ground elder too then you can kill two birds with one stone, with a dollop of wild mushrooms sauteed in butter and garlic on a bed of steamed ground elder. Point two: There's no way on earth you can remove fungi short of annihilating your garden. Each individual fruiting body chucks out millions of spores ... and does so within hours of appearing from nowhere. These microscopic spores are abundant in the air at this time of year.... if you lay waste to the current flush of fungi you can pretty much guarantee they'll be back next year... or another species that favours the conditions in your garden. The bits that you can see represent a mere fraction of the entire organism... the mycelium ( think of it as the roots ) can occupy a huge area of ground beneath the fruiting body ( the 'toadstool' ). This autumn has been particularly well suited to lawn fungi. If it's dry next year you may not seem them ( but they'll still be there, lying in wait for wet and warm weather ). Point three: By and large, fungi are harmless. The only really nasty bugger is Honey Fungus ( in horticultural terms ), the rest are relatively benign.. though naturally you'd be extremely foolish to eat any that you couldn't identify for certain. To all intents and purposes they can be treated as very short lived annuals. Point four: There is no point four Point five: All this has been said already, this is a collation of the posts with the humour removed.

Rubbish. And I am not a troll. C'mon Carl. I think by now you must realise that these (really rather pleasant compared to some) people have at the end of the day helped you with your question. Mind you it might take a while for you to forgive being likened to a hairy dwarfish creature from up Scandinavia way sent forth from the Hall of The Mountain King. Huss |
