MUSHROOMS are growing in my lawn ………. why my yard??

Updated: Oct 21, 2021

Every growing season, especially after heavy ground saturating rains, mushrooms start to appear in select lawn and wood mulched landscape bed areas.  Wherever dead buried organic material exists you will eventually find some type of mushroom growing near by.

One way to possibly stop (or slow) new mushroom’s from growing is to remove it’s buried food source.

Here are just a few of the organic food sources that will eventually lead to new mushroom growth: dead buried roots, buried wood, thick layers of wood mulch, under wood piles, old tree stump areas, etc.
