Stuntzii Fertilizers

It came to my attention that I haven't come around any information regarding the growth of Stuntzii's and the common liquid fertilizers that most landscaping companies use in manicured lawns. Being from Washington I see blue ringers most of the year in my area and I am just curious if anyone has any information on certain lawn fertilizers linked to blue ringers that grow in residential and commercial lawns. I've looked for any papers or threads but i've had no luck.

Chemical fertilizer will have little to no effect on them, unless they contain fungicide. They're for plants. RR

Well I understand that but from what i've heard from my proffesors that certain lawn fertilizers might have some components in it to promote fast stuntzii growth and dispersal, it might not be directly affecting the mushrooms but it has to have some effect.

The fertilizers spread by these two companies, and especially inn the Tukwilla, Washington area are from pastures which adjoin the warehouse and Boeing Office buildings in and around Tukwilla, Kent and Renton all the way to Federal Way.
Usually about 60& of their lawns in those regions get their sod from only a few sources. Sodded blue ringers spread like wildfire in little one-foot squared patches of sod. Their mycelia crawls into one another and spreads.
Liquid fertilizers help propagate this species and its lawn relatives with little ease.
Once the lawn service discontinues the shrooms disappear. I am talking about lawn varieties of P. stuntzii and P. sierrae, usually the two species intermingle with one another, continue their growth parameters by the lawn mower doing the sidewalk and office buildings and warehouse lawns of the south of the city.
In the north is Woodinville's Bassett and Western. The problem there again, as in the Kent to Tukwilla region, the pasturelands are being sold and lotted out for newer business, thus a loss of valuable manured fertilizers which once graced Seattle with thousands of lawns in the 1970s.

It seems like there should be somewhat of a connection between the fertilizers and Stuntzii...anyone else's thoughts? Oh yea and by the way Thanks for the info RR.
