Re: Grass fungus

Hi Lesley
Normally when mushrooms appear on a lawn, it's a sure sign that there is rotting wood in the soil. Rather than killing off the fungi, it would be better to remove the root cause.
If you can bear it, you could carefully remove the turf over the affected area and see what's down there - with new build houses or recently renovated, it's a sad fact that some builders will merely bury their excesses to save them a journey to the Tip.
Having removed/or not the cause, then it's an easy job to replace the soil, tamping it down level and pop the wad of turn back on top. Or, if that is too complicated, just keep scraping off the mushrooms and dispose of them. As we don't know what they are I would do this with caution, washing your hands afterwards and resist the temptation to cook and eat!
Good luck
