on my coarse we laerned "plaster on wood is no good" when i come across an old timber lintel i will screw plasterboard over it or will cut eml and fix it with clout nails but why can you plaster on lathe then?
 
they are called nibs drplastering not mushrooms. thats what i learned maybe that is a local term maybe?


The plaster that goes in between the lathes are also called mushrooms - because it forms a shape like mushrooms above the lathes
