To Mulch, or not to Mulch?

Wonder why they have banned Armillatox from The Netherlands and the testing of the extremely toxic product on the continent toke place in Belgium.

Could it be because it kills all macrofungi and on the long run the tree too :sneaky2: ?

 

 

Don't think it's banned in the Uk.

 

Though possibly it should be.

 

I think it sells here mainly to Gardeners as a path cleaner.

would you say this is the same Stropharia species (allbeit younger) as posted earlier? Here on a mulch bed around a fine Davidia involucrata.

 

David,

Yes, it's the same species also known as Leratiomyces ceres, which spores travelled to Europe in the wool of sheep imported from Australia.

That's because Belgium is the 'Far West' :sneaky2:

 

Tom,

Years ago, I had a call from the "inventor" and producer of Armillatox asking me if I could/would organize a testing and demonstration session in The Netherlands for which I was to be paid.

Two weeks afer my refusal to organize a demonstration, I was invited to come to Belgium, where they had allowed Armillatox to be tested on Armillaria infected trees.
