Stump grinding vs. removal has me scratching my head

Which one is better for the soil long-term? Can't find a straight answer.

What about my buddy who ground his and now has mushrooms everywhere?

Same here, it's a total headache to figure out.

Oh man, that mushroom thing is the real answer right there. Your buddy basically turned his yard into a free all-you-can-eat buffet for fungi. Grinding leaves a whole mess of wood chips that just rots and causes problems for years. At least with removal you just have a hole to fill.
