Are mushrooms growing in a lawn good or bad? What is causing the mushrooms to grow in a lawn? Are the mushrooms that are growing in the lawn poisonous? This video answers all of these questions about what to do when mushrooms are growing in your grass.
Mushrooms are actually the fruiting bodies of beneficial fungi and are actually a good sign. Fungi are one of the only microbes that decomposes woody material like decaying tree roots, leaves and rotting wood. We do not recommend eating any mushrooms that grow in lawns as it is extremely rare but it is possible that they are dangerous.
To help prevent mushrooms from growing in a lawn we strongly recommend following the 1-2-3-2-1 lawn watering technique. This lawn watering technique will water a lawn deeply and infrequently which will stimulate beneficial microbial activity in the soil, but won't promote excessive mushroom growth.
