I am going to try to Thatch the lawn and see if the problem goes away.
I already sprayed the lawn with Captan a fungus killer.

Ideas thought of so far:
Tell local Law Enforcement that Illegals are trying to raise some hallucinogenic mushrooms in my lawn.
Send the Mushrooms from some remote small town to CARB and/or EPA with a recipe.

If anyone wants to come and get them, send me a PM, I put them in bags and set them in the Garbage can.

You definitely want to "pluck" them before the spores spread.

They are the poisonous kind.
And not the kind you can trip out on either.

You could take a trip, ( 1 way) and never leave the farm.

Very interesting pattern there. As if someone or something dropped them along the way.

Must be the way the spores were scattered when the mushrooms were mowed down once.
Or it is illegals planting the spores.

There was once a large tree that stood there which was cut down many moons ago..The ring is indicitive of that.
Whenever you see a large ring of shrooms that is probably the case.

I was going to say the same thing. Every year I get shrooms popping up in my front yard where a tree once stood about 10 years ago. The funny thing is they didn't start to show up until about 5 years ago. The tree/lawn dude says its the roots decaying that cause the shrooms to come up. I was told the only way to get rid of them is to excavate down, pull out all old roots, fresh grade then resod and fertalize every year several times a year. I just live with them :5SHOTS:

Double thatched the section of lawn and cleaned up the dead stuff that smelled like rot.
Had a good rain with nothing popping up yet.

:ROTFL:

I personally like the look.
You might find a fungicide that may help.Check your local feed and seed.

Why get rid of them? They are actually good for your yard, consuming and converting the dead matter that has not yet broken down into loam. Granted, them being there means your yard is not as healthy as it could be, but the mushrooms are not the problem - they're actually helping.

Thanks to some Local Do Goders, we have some halfway houses a few blocks away. As much as I agree with the Philosophy that Nature has a way to take Idiots out of the gene pool, I don't want any of them to eat the Poison Mushrooms and die and have to answer stupid questions as to why I did not remove the poison mushrooms. Now if the Idiots steel the poison mushrooms and sell them to buy drugs or booze and kill some other dirt bag, not my problem.
You may think I am over reacting, but I live in a town where I had to keep my Gunsmith's FFL to keep my collection.
