Tree stumps can be removed naturally using the mycelium of a fungus that decomposes wood. This method, recommended by gardeners, avoids heavy machinery and harsh chemicals. The fungus Phlebiopsis gigantea breaks down the wood fibers over time, making stumps easier to remove. The process duration varies based on stump size and environmental conditions, taking about six months for small stumps and up to two years for larger ones. Proper preparation of the stump is essential, including drilling holes for the mycelium to penetrate. After application, maintaining moisture is crucial for effective decomposition. This method is a viable alternative for those looking to preserve their garden's surface.
