What Are Wild Mushrooms Doing In My Lawn

Are you seeing wild mushrooms?Simply put, the wild mushrooms that you see are likely caused by the decomposition of a previously living organism. It may be old wood, mulch, or a decaying animal. The mushroom is the fruiting body of the millions of fungal fibers branching and spreading underground. Fungi usually thrive in your lawn and only produce fruiting bodies when the conditions (prolonged wet weather) allow.Mushrooms may be unsightly, but they are a positive sign that your lawn is being naturally enhanced beneath the surface. Mushrooms are not turf damaging. There is no need for removal, and definitely no need for extra product application. To get rid of mushrooms, just mow or kick them over.
