We have a small patch of lawn and flowerbed that keeps getting inundated with mushrooms or some similar type of fungus.
After carefully picking and removing it, I have tried to dig a little deeper to remove any traces of roots but the blasted stuff keeps reappearing.
Any suggestions to get rid of it without damaging the lawn or the flower bed next to the grass.

Thanks in advance.

Peg a bag over then as soon as they show, then the spores can't spread. :lol:

are the beds and lawn in a shady area?

could be toadstools (they love cool damp areas)

lawn can be helped with a good aerating and having sand put in the holes to make it drain better as well as a good scarifying

Thanks for the tips, have passed them on to the Manager who does the gardening. She appreciates the info.

lol you might end up doing the aerating, though you can get a tool for the job. looks like a garden roller but with spikes all round rather than a drum

about £35, sold one to a taxi driver customer I used to have who has bad feet and cant stamp on a normal aerator / fork
