Morning all.

Any tips on getting rid of mushrooms from my lawn (apart from picking them).

Can anyone suggest how I prevent them regrowing.

The mushroom head that you see is just a tiny part of the fungus in the soil. Be careful to pick the mushrooms out as these spread the spores and if the lawn has plenty of sunlight then the fungus will normally die off in time as they like dark damp areas. I am assuming it's a newly laid lawn that they springing up through.

mushrooms like damp soil, maybe improve your lawns drainage?
