Anybody have any suggestion on how to get rid of mushrooms?
I've got them popping up in my TIF Bermuda lawn.
I keep pulling them and tossing them in the woods, but they reappear.

Any suggestions for permanent suppression or removal?

thanks,

anthony

There are probably old tree or shrub roots under the surface. That's where most of ours come up.

I think you're right.
Still, any ideas on how to get rid of them?
I'd rather not dig up the lawn looking for old roots:)

thanks,

anthony

Break them off and rake.

Mushrooms need moisture and organic matter (cellulose) in order to grow. There is no fungicide that I have found in my research to get rid of them. The spores can live for many years before they emerge. The only way to get rid of mushrooms is to get rid of one of the 2 things they need to live.

1. Moisture - stop watering (easy during the summer, but not so easy when it rains)
2. Cellulose - start digging, but could be futile, if you have soil that contains bark mulch

again, thanks for the tips.

I wish they were edible, then I wouldn't mind so much!

good luck with spores or micro risens. even the lack of water wont kill some like... dead mans foot,but its a good place to start. mushrooms are also a sign of break down, decomposition hence the moist roots under the surface.mushrooms are also a great natural soil cleanser
