Mushrooms

[fadal]

I have all kinds of diffrent mushrooms in my yard is there a way to get rid of them?

mushrooms don't cause a threat to your lawn. get rid of them with more frequent mowing or just rake the mushrooms.

I had a pile of them when I put the lawn in at my new house. I didnt want to look at them so I bought some fungicide in a aersol can and sprayed them. It took two sprayings, but they did die without hurting the new lawn. The lawn had been in for 1 year.

Just be careful with the fungicide and read all of the directions.

[hotrod1]

sometimes the mushrooms can be caused by buried lumber, brush or a stump in construction.

it also could be from what is called fairy ring. a soil fungus that leaves a dark green circle of grass. it usually is harmless unless it starts to get very dry where i would recommend aerifying frequently over the spots to alow moisture in.

Mine were caused by tree branches and such that they buried in the dirt when they worked the lawn. I had a nice crop.

I get shrooms when I over water an area with my sprinkle system.

I am in a dry out mode right now. I had the little buggers pop up right out in open area. Thats how I know I have over water area. Also the green of grass turns into a light shade of yellow. When this occurs, I back off of water and fertilize some.

I never thought of the covered up wood before. I guess this would hold moisture and allow the growth of mushrooms.

With all the natural rain we've been getting I know I have mushrooms too. I haven't run my sprinklers in almost 2 weeks but I've still got little button-topped mushrooms.

I do also have shrooms from the stump. Most stump removals only go 6-10" down no matter how deep the stump really is. As the wood decays mushrooms can form.

Something more serious would be if the offending fungi have a distinct shape or a straight line. There are fungal problems related to tree roots of living trees.

Major concern is keeping animals and children from eating them. A rake or shovel does well, fungicide if necessary.
