Is moss a fungus?Title says it all.
Thanks,
cover your soil when you spray your trees. I use a cloth or garbage bag, and a clothes pin to hold it around each trunk as i move it from tree to tree
if you WANT to kill the moss (perhaps growing on your trunk) and are asking if fungicide will do it... use rice vinegar. Full strength, not diluted, brush it on. Its what ryan neil recommended in one of his videos, i tried it, it works
Any vinegar will kill moss so don't think you need expensive Japanese rice vinegar. 50/50 certainly works for me too but I haven't worried about it dripping on the soil. I just spray the moss lightly. Vinegar only kills the moss it hits directly. I find I need to spray all sides of the tree to get it all.if you WANT to kill the moss (perhaps growing on your trunk) and are asking if fungicide will do it... use rice vinegar.

Some fungicides are meant to be applied to the soil. I have not found covering the soil necessary when applying fungicide

That depends on the problem. Some are designed to kill fungal infections on the leaves, some target root fungi and others can treat infections in trunk and twigs. In most cases I try to allow the trees to overcome initial problems but if the problem persists or appears to be spreading I'll find a product that treats the specific issue.Can i ask what fungicide you are using? just curious still a new world for me
I can't find any references to mosses NEEDING fungi. There's plenty of references to parasitic fungi exploiting bryophytes and others that have shown some mychorrizal like associations but, like in higher plants, these associations help the 2 partners obtain nutrition and do better in harsh environments. When nutrients are plentiful the plants are able to exist in isolation.Some - if not all - mosses need symbiotic fungi, so yes, fungicides can kill moss.
