What causes a sudden outbreak of mushroom infestation of my lawn?

Answer 1

It is too much water and it does not dry thoroughly before the next rain or the sprinkler gets it. They will go away as soon as everything dries out.

Answer 2

Mushrooms indicate decaying plant material under the soil. If you look closely you will probably be able to notice they follow a kind of pattern...like a tree root might. That is usually what is going on - a tree root is decomposing.

You can mow over them with not ill effects...or just kick them over. They are a fungus, but the root (pun intended) cause is decaying plant material.

Hope this helps.
