Mushrooms
 

Freak.. these mushrooms have been sprouting like weeds ALL over my lawn. Do any of you guys have a natural way of dealing with them? I pull them out, but they just keep growing and growing and growing...

open a mushroom store! :fuckyea:

do you know if they are the magical kind ?

I'm a bit of a lawn care newb, I could be mistaken, but you're getting mushrooms cause you're not getting enough drainage.
Get that thing to poke holes and just scatter on a thick layer of sand.

It's definitely not an instant fix, but over time, that sand will get sucked into the soil and you'll get better drainage resulting in less moss and mushrooms.

if i could cook the amount of mushrooms I picked up by hand over the past two weeks, I could open up a restaurant. Shit. I felt like I was playing super mario bros.

I have to deal with the problem coz 1. it looks hideous and 2. I worry about the child next door picking them up and eating it (He was admiring my mushroom patch :D).

Thanks for the sand info. That's the first I've heard about that. A friend of mine says the PH balance was off and to use LIME?

Man those look delicious..... saute them in Garlic butter.

my lawn has the exact mushrooms all over it too and I am just deciding if I should do something about that now or after winter ... lucky mine is not very bad .. just couple of them here and there ...

Google

ok, update. The mushrooms are still growing. Very annoying. I've asked a person at Home Depot and she suggested a fungicide spray or using calcium carbonate. The former is for isolated spots though and for the latter, I'd have to test the pH of the lawn and I'd run the risk of harming my lawn. From what I'm reading so far, mushrooms grow in an ideal environment and it's a sign of a healthy lawn. It just looks unsightly.

After reading several links like this one

How do I kill mushrooms that are growing in MY lawn

I've decide that I am just going to mow the lawn more frequently or rake them

update: the cold weather has really stunted the growth of mushrooms. So I'm pretty happy :D

They'll be back in the spring. So, i'd take care of them before they bloom again. :)

I have the same shrooms growing right now as well :(

Sounds like you've dealt with this problem before. What do you suggest?

I don't think you can rid of them with chemicals, they'd just grow back. Try to identify them and if they're edible then maybe eat them. :D

Mostly people occasionally pick them will help to control the spread. My gf's place have some of these on the lawn too, where there 's no direct sunlight.

raked some leaves on the lawn... no mushrooms. jACE is happy... for now.

Just wait until you come home from a week of relaxation and shopping, u'll be out there this coming weekend! ha. i love mushrooms on my lawn, think of it as fall flowers.

ha! so far nothing. knock on wood.

Winter, but they should be back come season.

Pesky mushrooms for sure.

slugs eat mushrooms i hear

mushrooms are poking back up!

So I went to home depot and was suggested to spread dolomite lime and I came across this informative video:

Probably will lime it up this weekend

update: limed it up by hand. The growth of the mushrooms have slowed down. Some mushrooms are still getting through though. I relimed those areas. So far, so good. We'll wait some more and see..
