Lawn Mushrooms

Many people wonder what mushrooms are growing on their lawn. There are wide variety from fly agaric to panaeolus all the way to mycena. Sometimes mushrooms can be a landscapers nightmare as they seem to never go away. The best ways to get rid of mushrooms is not to just yank them all up, that will not do much since the mycelium is underground. But since the spores help reproduce, throwing the ones you find away may help. One thing i have noticed is, mushrooms do not reproduce well when the acidity of the soil is too high but still may return later in the year. Other ways that landscapers have resorted to includes fungicides, reducing humidity and digging areas up. This may be a bit extensive and the battle will seem like a loss. Sometimes mushrooms always win.
