What Are Wild Mushrooms Doing In My Lawn

Are you seeing wild mushrooms?

Simply put, the wild mushrooms that appear in your lawn are likely caused by the decomposition of a previously living organism. This could be old wood, mulch, or even a decaying animal. The mushroom you see is just the fruiting body of millions of fungal fibers that are branching and spreading underground.

Fungi usually thrive in your lawn and only produce visible fruiting bodies when conditions (typically prolonged wet weather) are just right.

While mushrooms may be unsightly, they are actually a positive sign that your lawn is being naturally enriched below the surface. Mushrooms are not damaging to turf. There's no need for removal, and definitely no need for extra product application.

To get rid of mushrooms, simply mow over them or knock them down by foot.
