We have got new turf laid on 23-6-06. We were told by landscaper that they have put down new hard wearing rolawn. We regularly water it. Now for the last two weeks, weeds in the shape of mushrooms appearing. After rain next day in the morning there are lots of mushrooms. When sun comes out these die down. If it is damp these stays. What could be the reason that these mushrooms are growing. Landscaper says that nothing to worry. It is rather good sign that soil is fertile. He does not tell us how to get rid of these.

I shall be grateful for your help. Is it natural that in new turf mushrooms grows and also how to get rid of these? I live at Stanmore, Middlesex

Thanks

Are they mushrooms or toadstools.

Either, I am told are almost impossible to get rid off, as the spores puff out, (thats where the fairy rings come from).

Will make a few enquiries for you.
