Mushrooms in my mulch

Article Abstract:

Garden mulch will often sprout some fascinating varieties of fungi and mushrooms which live off the dead wood in the mulch and contribute to nature's recycling process. Some of the more startling varieties of fungi include the armed stinkhorn, an oblong, fleshy mushroom which emits a dung-like odor attractive to flies, and the dog-vomit slime mold which closely resembles its name and feeds on bacteria and soil organisms. While most mushrooms are beneficial and should not be feared, it is unwise to eat any without thorough knowledge of the species.

Mushrooms in the lawn: to mow or not to mow?

Article Abstract:

Mushrooms growing on a lawn are attractive to some and dismaying to others. Mowing down the mushrooms does nothing because the fungus that sprouts the mushrooms is growing underground and mowing actually spreads the spores. Poisonous mushrooms should be treated with care, but often are the most decorative.
