stop watering so much, if you are not watering the problem will go away once the soil dries out and the dead organic material is consumed.

Mushrooms are the "flowers" of underground fungus growing and consuming organic materials such as dead tree roots. The fungus is turning the material into nutrients for the soil and other plants. To eliminate the fungus, you'd have to dig down and remove whatever the fungus is working on. If it's a sizeable tree root, great, but if it is pockets of organic material such as manure, that will be impossible. Fairy ring is a fungus common to lawns. The fungus is working on the soil organic matter. Each season the ring gets a bit wider as it explores new material. Problem is the fungus is so tight, it excludes water from entering the soil so in addition to the mushrooms, you get dead spots. For the dead spots, take a soil probe that attaches to the hose end and stick into the dead areas and turn on the water, forcing water through the fungus' mycellium. For the mushrooms, mow them, pick them or ignore them. If you have Fairy ring and the lawn has the distinctive rings, keep the lawn well fertilized to hide the rings.

It is nearly imposible to get rid of any type of mushrooms. They are feeding on the decaying matter in the soil and are a great help to your soil. Once the decaying matter is gone or your soil dries out well the mushrooms will go away

Spread corn meal on the lawn. It will take care of lots of different lawn fungi.

You have too much moisture on your lawn. You need to either stop watering it, and let the soil dry out, and if it is dry, and you have a lot of shade, you may need to prune your trees to allow more sunlight in.
Good luck!

We had some last summer because we were over watering. Somebody suggested putting a teaspoon of lime (mineral) on them and they should disappear in about a week.
We tryed it and ours did disappear.

try watering less and in the early mornings. like 5 or 6 am, this will help less fungus from growing in your lawn.
