question Mushroom/Fungus

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I have just walked outside and seen heaps of red mushrooms growing in the unused

garden outside Liams bedroom window, freak me out!! Am I to be concerned about

that, is a garden fungus cause problems in CF lungs?? Sorry if its bit of a

stupid question. If it is how do I get rid of it?? Another question I do

gardening here, veges, and I have a compost heap which I put the kitchen scraps

and all sortts in to. This must be a prime place for bacteria, is it ok to have

a compost and put it on the garden??

Thanks

mum to Liam 9 months. Ps had clinic Appt today and ped was very happy

with him, he had grown and put on weight, he is now 8.6kg!! and 73cm long. One

thing that really annoyed me was we found out Liam had been on the wrong enzymes

since birth, hows that!! He was not on an enterically coated one, it was just

enzyme powder, (Pancrex V) we are now on pancrease but I saw that it has sucrose

in it, I hope we dont have a hyperactive kid, he is no good with sugar.

Hi ,

from the hygienic point of view it would of course be much better to

bury the whole garden under a thick layer of asphalt and hoover it at

least twice a day :-))

Garden mushrooms don't grow in human lungs. The only fungus I know of

that can be dangerous for Pwcf is aspergillus. And it's not the

fungus itself that causes problems but an allergic reaction of the

body to the spores of the fungus. I would deal with that problem if

and when it becomes acute for Liam and there is a good chance that it

will never become a problem. And you can't (and shouldn't) protect

Liam from the normal environment. If you want to go the extra mile

then don't use mulch around the house, because it harbours tons of

molds. We did that for the first four years, but last year we even

started mulching because the weed got out of control.

Enjoy your garden. When Liam is old enough he will love to play there

and the activity in the fresh air will do him more good then the

bacteria could harm him.

Just my two cents after six years in the " business " . When Fiona was a

toddler I was as scared as you are. Congrats on the weight gain!

Peace
