Too much water means too many mushrooms. Cut back on your watering and if your problem area is in the shade then be sparse with the water. Sunny areas require more water because they dry out quicker.

If your lawn is in a sunny area and you are still getting mushrooms then again, cut back on the watering. Remember to always water your lawn in the early morning, not the evening when temperatures cool. I water mine about 5am in the morning and not every single day.

Hope that helps! .

Remove them, remove any decaying mater below the lawn (tree stumps & roots) then take preventative steps. Preventative steps: Aerate the lawn- rent an aerator if your have a large area, (your whole lawn will benefit from this so do it all) A potato fork (heavy duty pitch fork/earth turner)will work for a small area, stab into the ground and lift slightly by moveing the handle back and forth. Do this at about 4-5 inch intervals.

They also make foot aerators that you put on your shoe's like sandles with nails sticking out and you walk onthe lawn. Not sure they hold up very long though. Next treat the area with a disinfectant.

My own methods: put a cheap dish soap like lemon sented Joy (1/4-1/2 cup) and some cheap bargain brand mouth wash in to a hose end sprayer like the miracle grow applicator, then spray the area. (again the whole lawn will benifit so spray the whole thing if you want, it also helps reduce the bug population. If the area is heavily shaded consider pruneing or removeing some trees to let sunlight in.

For some part of the day. Reduce watering if the area is very wet, or improve drainage. All of this will solve your issue.

But when time is limited: remove them and spray with the above disinfectant will give temporary results, and some times permanent results. See link for more info. On Shrooms.

1 I've heard that mushrooms grow over areas with wood in them. Poke a shovel in that area and see if you find a buried piece of wood. Perhaps a branch or wood left over from construction?

They grow out of cow pies too but that's a whole different subject...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
