RiffRaff   10 #1 Posted October 12, 2017 More or less overnight, literally hundreds of mushrooms - toadstools? - have sprung up all over the lawn. Lived here for over 15 years, and have never experienced it before. I've resisted giving the grass a (final?) cut for fear of spreading the damn things...am I correct in doing so? The only major thing that's happened during the summer is that I had two large trees crowned/topped....other than that, a couple of new acers in pots and the usual hanging basket type things, so nothing particularly different/exciting....

punkin   10 #4 Posted October 13, 2017 Apparently mushrooms/toadstools help plants feed from the soil more efficiently, therefore is not such a bad thing having them in the garden. They do prefer damp soil, cutting the trees would have caused the soil to stay wetter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
