In my garden I encourage decorative toadstools. See my pic.
I use sulphate of iron on moss and as a side effect I have noticed that it kills fusarium. I would expect this from a heavy metal like copper. As a wee trial, I noticed that it killed the fruiting bodies in a fairy ring.
My garden is an oasis for creation where is use my scientific knowledge alongside hard graft and getting my hands dirty.
Amongst the wild life that continue to enjoy my garden are: honey fungus, vine weevils, aphids, wireworms, cockchafer grubs, lily beetles and many others.

I love fungi. In fact I deliberately inoculate logs with spores. I have turkey tail and oyster. Ambition is to grow lions mane as it's highly valuable for medicinal purposes and tastes amazing. The ones growing on birch trees, Polypore, are used for its anti cancer properties.

Fungi are nature's highway and they are being tested in Information Technology.
Don't kill the fungi please.
