I wonder if you could have a look at these pictures of a strange growth on the lawn of our neighbours. It starts off as a yellow patch looking like slimy mucus, then it turns white and seems to swell up to a foamy consistency, it turns black at the next stage. It does not smell of anything and the grass underneath seems not affected so far. There are lots of patches variying in size from 10cm diameter to about 20cm. It looks awfull and we are worried it might be something nasty so we don't want it to spread all over.
I put down a new lawn last year and a couple of months ago one section of lawn grew mushroom, it has now started to spread to all areas what can i do to eliminate them.
I laid a turf lawn last year. Early June this year I used feed on the lawn. Three weeks later I used feed and weed liquid on the lawn. Now I find a lot of tiny dark brown mushrooms on the lawn. I would be grateful if you would let me know how to eliminate these mushrooms
I have small brown mushrooms growing in groups on my lawn. Is there any way of removing them for good. They seem only to grow after it rains for a few days. It is realy annoying as i try to take good care of my garden, thanks for any remedies you can give me.
The grass quality is very bad. Last year it looked like red grass patches in the lawn. So far this year it looks almost dead. Looks like a disease.What should I do? Thanks
Could you please advise me on what to do about mushrooms or toadstools in my lawn. They come uo in Sept / Oct but even appeared in Nov. I would like to get rid of them for good.
Can you please tell me what is growing on my lawn? it seems to be a gold/yellow colour fungus that appears overnight and then eventually wears away within 7-10 days - but more and more patches are appearing every night? I can't see any bugs etc so I assume it's a fungus of some sort - also how should I treat it? Many Thanks
