I have stinkhorns in mulch. What is the ratio mixture of Southern AG Liquid Copper Fungicide to water I need to spray and how often

Also I never had problem before. Is it possible it came with mulch I received last spring from lowes?

Answer:

Southern AG Liquid Copper Fungicide is not labeled for mushrooms.  Stinkhorns are often first introduced into a garden in organic materials (e.g., soils and mulches) that contain microscopic hyphae (i.e., fungal threads) of stinkhorn fungi.  No fungicide treatments or other methods are available to prevent stinkhorns from appearing in a garden.  Removing organic matter (e.g., mulch) or reducing soil moisture may reduce the number of stinkhorns that appear.  However, these strategies are unlikely to eradicate stinkhorn fungi.
