Fungal Growth

My Garden this year hasn't prospered as well as in previous years. The Gladioli suffered from pests, Delphiniums, Aquilegia's also. This Autumn I have found the fungal growth all over my soil. Is it a healthy Fungi or should I remove and change my top soil?

Thanks for the input....... NOT
Ogster - you're a familiar name and you've posted several times on the forum - I think you've always had a reply and have been treated pleasantly - so, if no one has replied to your latest post perhaps you should reflect on the possible reasons which may be
1. that no one who has seen your query has any helpful information for you, or
2. that for some reason your post has slipped down the page and escaped the notice of people who might have otherwise replied
I don't think that either reason justifies sarcasm or rudeness from you.
All that's needed is a pleasant enquiry as to whether anyone can help and that will bump your post to the top of the first page.
In my case the second reason applies - although I've been on the board several times in the past 48 hours I've simply not seen your query. However having seen your photos I would not worry - most fungal growths in the garden are simply part of the normal course of events - the fungi are breaking down organic matter in the soil and making it available to your plants. If you don't like the look of it just gently hoe the surface of the soil to break it up.
And remember, we're nice people, we like to help so if we don't it might be that there's been a blip .... or it might mean that we don't like uncalled for sarcasm.
