Q.Eucalyptus

Zone Wiltshire UK clay soil | Anonymous added on March 16, 2016 | Answered

We had a tree that died a couple of years ago. We removed most but left the lower large trunk which we recently removed to make into a garden bench. We would like to know the best way to look after the bench now that it is cut to shape. It is very rustic and is just a bit of fun for our grandchildren. What do you suggest we use to try and preserve the wood etc whilst not endangering the children with chemicals?

We have also noted a large amount of fungi on the ground around the stump and with a yard or so. Do we need to control this fungi and if so with what. It is very yellowy mushroom like to look at.

Your comments would be appreciated.

Do you have a photo of the fungus that you can share? My best guess at this time is that it is a sulfur fungus - you can view a photo at the following link and let me know if that is indeed your fungi:
