How to get rid of lawn mushroom?
My front lawn is infested with mushroom now. I am desperate for a solution from you, Doug: Do I have to remove all the lawn which is $1000 square feet, and that is an answer I found on line; or do you have an easier solution that can make a busy mom do less work? Thanks! Peg Doug says – don’t remove the lawn. What rubbish! First – rake the mushrooms out of the lawn. That gets rid of the immediate problem. Second – start with a full organic programme as I describe on my site – the fall topdressing, the proper feed and nutrition. That thickens up the turf so fewer problems exist. Understand that mushrooms are a fungus so there’s some source of food in the ground for them. Raking gets rid of the immediate problem. Growing a great lawn hides the problem. Some folks have used 2 pounds of lime/1000 square feet to reduce mushroom infestations. It may not help you but it surely isn’t going to hurt. You don’t need to panic here – just rake thoroughly now and then again before you topdress every
