Stump Removal or Yard Hazard

After a tree is removed, the remaining stump may be left to decompose naturally. However, this natural process is slow and can encourage the growth of various fungi, which feed on the moist wood remaining in the ground.

Leaving tree stumps in your yard can provide a conducive environment for the growth of hazardous mushrooms. This can pose a potential risk to the safety of young children and pets who may come into contact with them.

Particularly hazardous species, such as the common Amanita and Galerina mushrooms, can cause rapid liver failure if ingested by children and pets. These fungi are known to flourish on decaying conifer wood, such as that of pine trees.

Pet Ingests Poisonous Mushroom

There are many types of mushrooms, only about 50 to 100 are poisonous. The Amanita species are the primary cause of mushroom poisoning in humans. Amanita mushrooms contain amatoxins and phallotoxins, which disrupt protein production and lead to liver failure.

By removing these stumps, Stump Blaster can eliminate the risk of hazardous decay and poisonous growth, ensuring a safe and enjoyable yard for your entire family.
