I have a type of fungus growing on my lawn that I'm unable to identify. It is of a dark grey colour on the upper surgace and ceamy white underneath and growns very close to the surface of the lawn. It has small "leaves" if you like, that look similar to curly kale leaves. What is this invader and how do I get rid of it? I was told once that it was called dog's wort but can't find any reference to this.

We have a siniar problem in our lawn. Nobody seems to know what it is. Can you help please or did Python 15 or Doran ever discover what this pest is?

We had the same, took ages to identify. None of the local garden centres knew what we had. We found it eventually on the net and was called dog lichen. Treatment is the same as for moss, scarification, aeration and feed and weed.

I have honey coloured with mid-brown "gills" fungi in lawn. I thought "Honey Fungus" smells of honey - these don't. A cheery tree was felled 2 metres away. Are they honey fungus no bootlace rhizomorphs found? If so should the the ground be treated with a strong anti fungal chemical? I am environmentally aware and garden organically but honey fungus is lethal to trees etc. It would have been so helpful if you had shown photo and given a detailed description.
Are they poisonous or just evil?!

Fungi/pests in your lawn, It appears to much of humidity breeds fungi
Try to get it dry, or else, just peel an onion, cut it in thin slices,
place it 2/3 inches deep in the soil, one yard away from each other.

This will also get rid of crawling pests for a long time
