I get nothing on my pile either, but, when put in close contact with the ground, loads of fruiting bodies, which are surely reproducing.

 

Is i'd say short for I would say? meaning its's a guess or it is backed by some theory. Don't want to be an pedant about it but none of the usual guys seem to be able to confirm or deny the possibility.

I,d say if Mr H says there,s fungi still in the mulch I,d go with that. It also has a bit more info in the WRAP landscape mulch guide.

Well of course there is fungi in the mulch:confused1:

My question was: can putting woodchip mulch down that contains say Honey fungus(too obvious I know) contaminate a garden?

[Rob D]

I would agree, but my mum in law only sees an unsightly mass "destroying" her beautiful new lawn.

Is there a solution to offer her ?

 

 

Set the lawnmower down a notch?

 

Sorry not helpful.... I'm ignorant of fungi but these won't last long will they? And they're not hurting the lawn it's just cosmetic for a week or 2.

DITTO you scoundrel!!!

 

Do you think this will keep recurring each year or will fade away as it eats up the food source.

If it comes back next year she may want to dig the area out and replace with fresh soil.

The quick answer is yes. The reference for this would be a 2005 RHS Plantsman article on This subject. Honey Fungus in wood chip. Is this what you mean? It's available online if you search in google. I,d copy a link but I,m on a IPad and don,t know how to copy and paste on it

I put some chip down in my garden, got the same shrooms.

 

The interesting question is, were the spores in the chip, or were they in the soil already and the chip gave them the energy they needed to fruit.
