Mushroom burdening your lawn?

It is a common frustration for many to have mushrooms in the lawn. This is understandable, but most mushrooms are not a direct threat to the lawn itself!
To permanently remove mushrooms, you may have to address problems with your lawn.
How do mushrooms appear in the lawn?
It's important to understand why they grow before tackling them. Fungi are involved in the breakdown of dead organic material in the soil. Mushrooms are fungi that aid this process.
Lawns often contain plenty of sources of rotting organic matter. Leaves, twigs, grass clippings, and even animal excrement provide the ideal conditions for mushrooms to grow!

- If the lawn is too wet, you can aerate.
- By collecting the cut grass instead of mulching, you limit the amount of organic material in the soil.
- Dethatching also removes unnecessary organic material.
- If there is too much shade, it helps to prune trees and thin them out to have more light in the garden.
- You can also use a fungicide, but if the cause is not addressed, the mushrooms will always return.
Leaving mushrooms in the lawn
While lawn mushrooms may look ugly, they are very beneficial to the lawn. A mushroom's extensive root system helps the soil retain water.

I have yellow patches on my lawn which have appeared over the past 2weeks. I do have a dog and it is not patched left from her urine? The yellow patches are contained within a limited area. Can you help. Thanks Robert
