Hi All
Last year i got a tree stump for my garden ,bit like a table bench.
But this year there are these things like musherooms all around the stump,there are about 100 small musherooms?
Does anyone what these could be?
Thanks for any replies

i think you have honey fungus i would get rid of it

Do a Google Images search for honey fungus, to see if it's what you've got. It can spread to other trees and plants, killing them.

Fungi are nature's cleaner-uppers; they remove dead wood from the forest floor. Obviously, you don't want your tree stump removing though .. I wonder if there's any treatment to preserve it?

Hi
When wood decays, the fungi that are breaking down the wood will produce fruiting bodies when the conditions are correct (ie humid and warm enough) - these are the mushrooms you are seeing. I see this a lot in my garden where I have cut trees down. You can buy various cultivated mushrooms on tree stumps/branches. I doubt whether this is honey fungus but you should check as others have advised.
