mushrooms in the lawn

 

Hello,

I suddenly have mushrooms growing in the lawn. Is there a way of killing
them permanently ?

 Thanks

No.  Why bother?

Why bother?
Many people like their lawns a bit like a bowling green.

I am not one of those but if you have children knocking around the lawn I
feel safer knowing exactly what is in my garden and lawn.

For example I have a ring of fungi which sometimes grows at this time of
year and they are as a collective called "fairy rings"
Now these can be potentially fatal.

I would rather be safe now than sorry later.

Thanks

True.  Let's skip the question of whether they should be recommended
to use a fungicide or psychotherapy :-)


If you think that you do, you don't.  Sorry, but ....


Oh, God - that's a dumb page even by Merkin standards :-(

The most common 'fairy ring' mushroom in the UK is, in fact, edible.
It is also a complete delusion that you are protecting children
by destroying such things (even if you could), as the most important
lesson that they can learn is that the world is not set up to protect
them from their own idiocies.

In order to eliminate such fungi from a lawn, you have to use large
amounts of chemicals that are almost certainly FAR more toxic than
the fungi!  And illegal for domestic use.  And, even then, the
elimination will probably not be permanent.

You garden is full of deadly plants.  Even the veggie garden.  Rhubarb
leaves potato leaves, tomatoe leaves.
Carnations, daffodils, hyacinth, tulip, ageratum, hellebore,
oleander.
Weeds too like ragwort, nightshade.
Shrubs, laurel, yew, leylandii, privet.

These plants are  poisonous, some are deadly.
So get real.  Get your kids trained up not to put things in their
mouths.
Nature has been conducting a chemical warefare agianst getting eaten
by herbivores for millions of years. We are not even herbivores &
stand no chance against these chemical weapons.
