I live in the Dixon, Ca area and have mushrooms, toadstools growing in my lawn. They grow both summer and winter. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them. They are taking over and killing the grass. Thanks for the help.?

It's important to keep your lawn "clean," free of debris that decays, dry and the grass short. Pluck any mushrooms you find before they get too large and disperse their spores, creating new mushrooms. Finally, look for a fungicide for your lawn, preferably one that lists mushrooms on the label. Be careful to pick one that is pet-friendly if you own one.

How do you kill mushrooms growing in your grass?
In most cases, mushrooms are not harmful to an area. Few mushrooms contribute to lawn diseases. However, many people feel that mushrooms are unattractive. Therefore, they look for a way to kill the fungus. The actual mushroom is simply the fruit of a fungi. Killing the mushroom does not remove--or kill--the mycelia causing their growth. Taking actions to kill mushrooms does not necessarily mean they will not reappear. These are the different ways of killing a mushroom:1. Reduce the amount of moisture in the area.Mushrooms thrive in wet soils.Refrain from, or slow down, the amount of irrigating or watering you do to the location.2. Eliminate decaying elements that enhance the growth of mushrooms.Remove grass clippings after mowing by raking them with a rake or using a bag grass catcher on your mower.Clean up pet waste.Have tree stumps ground and removed.3. Increase the amount of light the mushrooms receive.Mushrooms grow best in shady areas.Cut tree limbs or other hindrances that interfere with sunlight getting to the mushroom-infested area.4. Create better penetration of moisture and air flow in the ground.Consider aerating the ground with an aerator to prevent the mushrooms from sitting in a stale, moist environment.5. Remove the mushrooms from the ground as you see them appear.Pull, hoe or cut down the mushrooms.Other mushrooms will likely grow in their place.Continuous removal will help with the appearance and kill the mushrooms that have formed.Removing mushrooms promptly as they grow, and before their spores spread, will aid in confining the fungus to 1 area.!!!WARNINGS!!!Mushroom spores can be blown by the wind from other areas and a reinfestation will occur if you do allow the location to become fungus friendly with moisture, darkness and decay. Do not stop your practices once the mushrooms are gone unless you want them to return.Some mushrooms are poisonous. Only experts can distinguish some of the poisonous varieties from edible varieties. Be cautious if children or pets are around wild growing mushrooms.What will you need:RakeMower with grass bag catcherAeratorHoeNitrogen fertilizerFungicide

How do you stop mushrooms from growing in carpet?
=== === Different mushrooms have different growth characteristics and so pose different degrees of tenacity when trying to make sure they never come back again. Marasmius oreades (Fairy Ring Mushroom) is extremely difficult to kill, and short of stripping the sod and replacing it entirely in affected areas, attempts to destroy it with fungicides are spotty at best. Other, like the agarics known as Meadow Mushrooms (Agaricus campestris), will not damage the lawn, will usually disappear themselves after a couple of seasons, and frankly are a treat as an edible table mushroom, being closely related to thge Button Mushroom we buy in stores. Then others still, especially those that are growing close to any trees you may have on the property, should only be picked off. Since many of these kinds form a mutually benifial relationship with your trees, using a fungicide to kill them will also put a strain on the tree they were associated with. But overall, unless this mushrrom is actually causing damage you can see (Marasmius does this very noticeably), or is known to be toxic and pose a threat to kids or animals, you are much better off just to leave them alone. Most have an undrground "root" system (mycelium) that goes deep under the grass. These cannot be permanently destroyed without killing off the underground portion first. Better to educate oneself on how to determine the species, then enjoy them for what they are instead of fearing that they are all somehow poisonous or damaging. The numbers of poisonous species is actually much lower than most people think.
A summary for facing the lion growing up maasai on the African savanna?
well, the maasai boy Vincent Ole Tome thinks that killing a lion is not showing courage, it is showing foolishness to the environment. killing a lion who do no harm is foolishness itself. Leebo, Vincent's enemy, is challenging him to a lion killing contest but leebo dies.
