Mushrooms growing on my lawn and in borders!

[DildoSaggins]

Can anyone recommend a solution to get rid of mushrooms growing in our lawn and round the gravelled borders to our lawn. Come out in the morning and the lawn has quite a few clusters of them. Pulling them up and clearing them just gets rid temporarily then the next day they are back!! Its most frustrating. How quick these things grow astounds me! 😂

We are very inexperienced gardeners so could use some advice please.

Is there anything we can use that will stop them growing? We have two dogs so can't (and don't want to) spray chemicals so just wondered if there are any natural solutions that actually work please?

I had this and found it's common in gardens that use manure as a fertiliser. I just ignored them and a month later they'd died off by themselves.

Mushrooms or toadstools?

"mushrooms" are the equivalent to flowers in the fungi world, and are a clue that there is a healthy network of mycelium living in your ground breaking down rotten/dead plant material into useful nutrients.

Ignore them, and thank them for making your garden a better place for your plants.

They are normal 'lawn mushrooms' from what I can see by doing a google of them. Coming up in clusters and they sprout when there has been lots of rain, which we have had here. I would happily leave them but my dog keeps eating them!!!

My grandfather used to fry them for breakfast!

The only thing you can do is keep picking them There's no cure. The main part of the fungus, the mycelium, will be spread over a very wide area underground, and the mushrooms / toadstools are just the fruiting bodies that pop up every now and again when conditions are right.

You cannot get rid of fungi easily. Just have to live with it, sorry.

Random useless fact: There's a fungus mycelium in the US state of Oregon which is believed to be the largest living organism on Earth.
