A Yahoo search for "yard mushrooms" (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 154 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek.
Good luck with your search.

Mushrooms often grow on rotting wood, which may be located underground (decaying roots of long-gone trees, etc.). Rather than labor-intensive digging, which will likely damage the roots of trees now living and isn't guaranteed to get rid of the mushrooms, you could try covering the ground to change its conditions. Whether this is feasible depends on the size of the area in question and how close it is to your trees.

You pick them and eat them, perhaps? If you must destroy them, then look here: http://www.pestproducts.com/lawnfungicide.htm
Mushrooms are just the fruiting bodies of a very much larger organism which is practically invisible and consists of very fine strands (called mycelium) which is feeding on decayed matter in the soil and sometimes - but not always - damages the grass. If you see yellowing or browning of the grass where the mushrooms are, then you should apply a fungicide. If it is not affecting the grass, then it is best left alone - some fungi actually help the grass.

I use the same fungus solution on my lawn as I use on my roses. Spray weekly and don't water for 24 hours.

They are pretty gross, aren't they? and more than likely NOT edible. You can't just pick them because they'll grow back, plus if they dropped spores then they're going to propagate like crazy. I think the only way is to dig up that area and completely change the soil/dirt. That's what we had to do =(

They are growing because there is decaying wood such as the root of an old tree under them. If you dig up the old wood they will not be able to grow there anymore.

maybe pick them, identify them. If they are edible add them to dinner.
