Q: Stink horn mushrooms

This past spring, I dug up about 120 pounds of the stink horn mushrooms from my yard! Does anyone have a cure for these?

    I don’t personally know much about this type of mushroom. After doing a little research, I realize, I have ever actually seen these in person. I found this website:

    http://www.buginfo.com/article.cfm?id=79

    This discusses how difficult they are to remove. The main reason for this, and with any mushroom, the fungal colony grows quite deep underground. It is difficult to get a herbicide/fungicide deep enough into the earth to destroy the root system. If you were tenacious enough (I don’t know how large an area you are taking about here) you could upturn the soil with a tiller and then douse it with a heavy load of fungicide. Again though you are talking about destroying enough of the spores to knock back the growth. Also, keeping the decaying matter of leaves and other plant material free of the area could cut down on the continued growth. You could also strategically use weed fabric to keep anything from growing up for a while until you feel like the problem has been hampered enough that you can begin planting other more invasive species.

    Unfortunately, we have no products here at PVFS that are labeled for use on this type of mushroom, so I can’t make a direct suggestion. But you could look at our Fungicides for an item that may follow the guidelines you need to put a hamper on this troublesome problem. Good luck! Sorry I could not be of more help.
