Daphne...It concerns me that if Garlic fungi is so toxic, why would it be taken to the landfill?? Should it be better to burn it so it can't reproduce and get 'reincarnated 'in another site?   Just a question...I'm not familiar with this horrid little species.   Ginny

  Thanks, Peter,
  The Friends of Hidden Valley have broadened their focus to comment on Kitchener Parks and the need to put an economic value on natural areas. The first article endorses that. It also mentions a a forest coverage goal and says that Toronto's current coverage is 20%. The GRCA recommends 30%, and says that forest coverage in KW is about 14%. 
   
  The second article make the link between fungus networks and healthy trees. It doesn't mention that garlic mustard, which is such an invasive species, kills the good fungi. I've got 4 black plastic bags of garlic fungi decomposing since the spring beside the house, that will go to the land fill this spring. It's so toxic that it's autoclaved when they study it in the labs at U. Guelph.
