We tend to get them in the spring and summer. The backyard has very poor drainage and lots of leaves that fall in autumn. When we have torrential downpours in spring and summer the water just sits and the backyard looks like a lake. Thus the mushrooms start growing probably from decaying leaves stuck down in the lawn that couldn't be raked. They might be beneficial and the sign of a healthy lawn but they can be beneficial and healthy in someone else's yard. Around here we like a nice lush green carpet of grass without any mushrooms or weeds growing in it. They tend to leave "holes" in the yard that need to be patched too. 😬
I had a fairy ring in my lawn for several years. Thle lawn looked ugly, because it was over fertilized on one side of the ring, but it also became brown on the other side of the ring. The fungus was producing nitrogen but also making the soil hydrophob. Finally I decided to dig out the fungus, because all other treatment didn't help. I had to dig out 2 cubic meters of soil. I believe this is 70 cubic feet? My fungus was a "Nelkenschwindling". Now my lawn is looking much better.
Ok now I've pinpointed the problem, leaves that were left on the ground for awhile and when I finally decided to rake it all up they were decomposing and a horrible stench came from it! Never again will I neglect to rake those leave up!
I live in Indiana. I found a pretty big white mushroom in my lawn today. It had a pretty odd smell, almost like urine. That's all that I can compare it to. I thought about taking a bite, but I restrained myself.
This was so helpful thankyou so much for this video I worked so hard in my tiny flower garden thn I saw these coming up ,you now have anew subbie thanks
My dad made me start a garden this year since we just bought a house and it had an old garden as well. I didn't want to this year but I just had mushrooms grow in my tomatoes I got rid of them because I wasn't sure.
@@FerrariTeddy There is nothing looking like wild strawberries that are not edible (including Potentilla indica which is probably the fake one you are talking about). They may not taste as good or no taste at all to some people but still are perfectly edible. Same goes to wild raspberries and blackberries.
No, we believe that the majority of mushrooms are a good thing so we are not trying to get rid of them. Perhaps your method works, but our goal is to create an environment with a living soil. The molasses is a good thing but not sure what the potassium bicarbonate would do to the microbiome.
Just don't eat them (unless you REALLY know what you are doing), keep an eye on young children and explain the dangers of eating random things you find growing outside (applies to plants too), you should be good. Do us some good to know about the local plants and mushrooms and to teach our kids.
Just laid sod. We have blistering hot dry weather here and have to water three times a day. I also have two cute little girls living next door who are always looking to earn money. Problem solved.
Just because there are not trees doesn't mean that there isn't lignin in the soil. The new sod could have been grown with a compost that had tree leaves or tree bark or a compost could have been brought in prior to putting in the new lawn.
Its crazy how fast mushrooms can grow in my lawn. I just punt them across the lawn when i see them.
The field goal isssssss. ..... Good!
OMG I thought i was the only one! Goalllllllll :)
Honestly this is the best solution, the interesting part is we all looked it up
Mushrooms are great pluck them and research them... or leave them be
Thank you! I was worried that they were a bad sign for my lawn .
Good thing but very unsightly... I'm happy to find this info because I have them growing in mine from all the spring rain! Appreciate the info! 👋🏾🙃

England . Mushrooms in the lawn are a seasonal joy of nature in autumn ( fall ) . Mycorrhizal fungi are beneficial to many plants.
No one has complimented you (and your knowledgeable info) on that great shirt !
Yes, our shirt game is on point!
Ok now I've pinpointed the problem, leaves that were left on the ground for awhile and when I finally decided to rake it all up they were decomposing and a horrible stench came from it! Never again will I neglect to rake those leave up!
I just wanted to know what I would see if I ate one

Good discipline in not eating a urine smelling mushroom!
Haha good one
Sounds like a Destroying Angel mushroom. Would have killed you had you ate it
This was so helpful thankyou so much for this video I worked so hard in my tiny flower garden thn I saw these coming up ,you now have anew subbie thanks
i nvr new that about mushrooms n thnx so much!!
Some fertilizers can also cause an increase on the lawn. Milorganite seems to cause it on my lawn. But I am not complaining ❤
My dad made me start a garden this year since we just bought a house and it had an old garden as well. I didn't want to this year but I just had mushrooms grow in my tomatoes I got rid of them because I wasn't sure.
I marvel over how fast the fruiting bodies grow.
Best way to get rid of mushrooms is the lawn mower
So I’ve never had this happen before I usually take decent/moderate care but holy f my yard is overrun by mushrooms! My dog is legit scared of them…
Lol
Great video and info. Thank you
I HAVE NO WOOD NOR TREES AND MY GRASS DONT GET WATER LIKE THAT DURING THE SUMMER AND MUSHROOMS STILL COMES ....HOW CAN I GET RID OF THEM
Hi,
Are the lawn mushrooms toxic for dogs??? Thanks
Thank you, this is very helpful.
Great video!!!
Both wild violets and wild strawberries are perfectly edible. Why do you think strawberries got cultivated at the first place.
There are fake wild strawberries

thank you! What about pets?
Thank you!
Agaricus campestri in the School Lawn locally
I ate some when I was little and didn't know better thankfully it did no harm
Have you ever tried using Molasses and potassium bicarbonate mixed in water to eliminate mushrooms after pulling them?

@@OrganoLawn I agree and thank you for sharing
Thanks 👍
Thanks
Thank you
You're welcome

I hand pick and water less.
i came here bc i wanna trip right now can i eat them?
Yeah live in Canada 🇨🇦 and they freaks me out don’t like seeing them, they aggravate me .
Just laid sod. We have blistering hot dry weather here and have to water three times a day. I also have two cute little girls living next door who are always looking to earn money. Problem solved.
are you coming back?
Those mushrooms don’t do that because because they’re because they said that they grow plants and trees for us you’re gonna ruin major do not do that
Ahhh Seattle is the problem not my lawn
Into my compost pile.
Idk why it's looking disgusting I can't leave them alone
My neighbors all have great lawns, I have mushrooms. I’m ready to nuke it
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No trees But Mushrooms on a Brand New Lawn
Just because there are not trees doesn't mean that there isn't lignin in the soil. The new sod could have been grown with a compost that had tree leaves or tree bark or a compost could have been brought in prior to putting in the new lawn.
But they look ugly.
Fungi
Not good
such a great video!
Thank you!
Thank you
