Getting rid of mushrooms?

Valerie120408 · June 2011

We've had an unusually wet spring/summer this year and our lawn is getting a lot of mushrooms on it. There was a small patch last year and it went away when the rains stopped but this year they are all over our back yard. I'm sure they'll go away again when it gets hot but they will come back. Does anyone know a way to get rid of mushrooms? I'm afraid that there is no way to get rid of them at all - even if we were to raplace the soil (which would be too expensive), I would think they'd come back from the neighbors. Any suggestions are appreciated. TIA!

i don't know, but i'm curious why it's an issue? is it just cosmetic, or is there a health concern? when i got them in my garden, i could just knock them over or dig them out and they didn't cause big issues.

We get mushrooms. All I do is kick them over and get rid of them that way. There is no good way to get rid of mushrooms until the soil dries out.

I'd leave them alone if they're not hurting anything. Or knock them over.

Thank you, ladies! They are not hurting anything, I was just wondering if I can do anything since they seem to be everywhere. I'll let them be

Someone once told me (Satreece?) that mushrooms are a sign of good nitrogen. They used to creep up in my garden, so I would just roll them back into the soil!
