Monday's Myth #1

Mushrooms sprouting in lawn= poor soil!

Mushrooms are the above-ground growth of fungus organisms living in soil. Some fungi live on buried lumber, dead roots, or fine particles of organic matter while others live in harmony with tree roots, assisting in the uptake of water and nutrients. The sudden appearance of mushrooms does not mean the lawn needs lime, fertilizer, or anything else. If you do not want them sprouting in lawns or gardens, use a rake to dispose of them. There is no chemical control for mushrooms.
