How do you kill mushrooms that grow on your lawn?

Mushrooms grow because of heavy moisture and fertile soil. GETTING RID OF MUSHROOMS: ... Raking them off the grass. Support the lawn with proper fertilization and watering when needed (healthy grass will squeeze out weeds and mushrooms.) You can also drench the affected area with detergent and water in early spring. Poke holes about 6 inches deep, about a foot apart, through the surface, and drench the area daily for a month. Use 1 - 2 quarts of water per square foot, with 1 - 2 tablespoons of liquid detergent per 3 gallons of water. NOTE: IF YOU GO TO YOUR GARDEN CENTER OR ANY PLACE THAT CARRIES GARDEN TOOLS BUY AN "AIRAITOR" (IT HAS A SHOVEL HANDLE, BUT 2 - 4 1/2 INCH TUBES SO THAT YOU CAN POKE HOLES THROUGH YOUR LAWN. MUSHROOMS OR NOT, THIS SHOULD BE DONE IN THE SPRING TO HAVE A HEALTHY LAWN. Hope this Helps!


Mushrooms in your lawn normally come from decomposing material underneath. Usually wood like tree roots. It also means you have healthy microbial growth in the soil. The mushrooms come and go so fast, but they are an eyesore. I'd pick up a cheap golf club at a second hand store and take out my aggressions! Haha! You can if you want to, but if you really want something to put on the lawn, try a fungicide since mushrooms are fungus. Good luck. Happy golfing.


besides inviting a bunch of shroom luvin hippies for a lawn party, there is something my mom used to do to prevent them from coming back(and it worked), mix equal part white vinegar with water and douse the area where the mushrooms frequent...the vinegar is a natural fungicide. great for cleaning up mildew as well....good luck man!
