MONSTER MUSHROOMS above ground-down-below-ground tree-trunk
Very large tree got sick and had to come down.
Then the usual "grinding-down of the stump". (I then paid more and got it ground down even more, to maybe 1 foot beneath the surface.) Around the (alive) tree was a rock-edged circle, radius maybe 6 feet, ground within raised up maybe 6 inches. Anyway, after the tree was taken down and stump ground way down, we turned that rock-edged circle into a garden, lots of different plants, flowers, etc. ---- Lots of rain in the last two or three weeks. So of course some mushrooms appear here and there in the lawn. SMALL mushrooms. But, in that rock-edged garden, good lord!, LOTS of mushrooms, MONSTER mushrooms. Each being between maybe 8 inches to ONE FOOT across (ie diameter). To date, I have not even touched one of them, they're so gross, much less tried to dig one up. ------ MY QUESTION: How do I get rid of these things? Of course a narrow shovel (or post-hole digger maybe? -- we have one left eons ago by prior house-owner). Haven't looked yet, but I guess the mushrooms go all the way down to the ground-down stump. And -- once dug up and tossed, the *real* question: How to keep them from coming back? THANKS! David PS: If you want, I can take and upload pictures of them, perhaps even of when half and fully dug out? |
