Question
How can I get rid of nuisance toadstools on our lawn?
Thankyou!
Roger N. Carver

Answer
They are a fungus and if you cut back on watering, the problem will probably go away. There is a condition called "fairy ring" disease. Here the mushrooms grow in a semi circular pattern and are associated with organic matter in the ground. It is a little bit more difficult to control.
