Fungi & Toadstools

Fungi & Toadstools

Fungi are very common in grass. They go hand in hand with the biological process of decomposing elements, and breakdown of materials. Toadstools degrade and recycle dead plant material, and are very common in an ornamental lawn. They are neither problematic or a major hassle. Toadstools show that you have an active soil, and that activity is reasonably good. However, you should take care to watch the thatch level. Your lawn may need scarification to reduce this dead layer.
There may be a layer of decaying debris under the lawn area, from previous building work or dead tree stumps and tree roots. If your lawn has a major problem with mushrooms and toadstools, ask me about the best way to stop this problem recurring
Please Note - Fungicides are a toxin and are only used by Lawn Doctor when absolutely necessary. Prevention is always better than cure. If you are having your lawns treated by a professional company other than Lawn Doctor, make sure you ask what preventive methods they employ against disease, and foliar blights.
