Mushroom

Lawn mushrooms are a common problem in the landscape. They will rarely damage your grass, but it is frustrating to see them growing in your lawn because certain mushrooms are often considered unsightly, especially for those people who love a well-managed lawn. Even if you do not hold this opinion, you should keep in mind that an unmanaged lawn can decrease the real estate market value of your property.

Some types of mushrooms are edible, but others are poisonous. Poisonous mushrooms are a real problem in houses with kids and pets. Some mushrooms even stink badly; the most notorious example of these types are “stinkhorns.” But the problem of mushrooms growing in the lawn can be easily fixed if you know how to do it.
