Where do the mushrooms come from and is there anything to control them?
Are they edible? Answer: Mushrooms have become very common in many lawns since the onset of rainy weather after our rather dry late spring season. They belong to a group of organisms called fungi. Mushrooms are the reproductive portion of the fungi and the vegetative portion (known as hyphae) grows belowground. Since mushrooms lack chlorophyll that is found in green plants, they must derive their food from decaying plants. In home lawns, they will grow on decaying underground roots, bark, and other organic matter found beneath the soil. They are often found in areas that had trees removed some years back. Some types of mushrooms grow in a distinctive circular-to-elliptical pattern known as a “fairy ring.” The mushrooms described here occur in a random pattern and are close relatives of “fairy ring” mushrooms. When we have periods of high rainfall and warm temperatures (especially after an extended period of dry weather), mushrooms can appear virtually overnight. Save your money there i
