Does removing the mushroom completely remove the fungus from the soil?
1) No, because removing the mushroom only removes the reproductive structure of the fungus; the remainder of the fungus, the hyphae, would still be in the soil.
2) Yes, because the mushroom is the feeding structure of the fungus, so without the ability to feed, it will die.
3) Yes, because the mushroom is the entire fungus organism.
4) No, because removing the mushrooms does not remove the branching reproductive structures, the hyphae, that are still in the soil.
