How Do You Safely Remove Mushrooms From A Lawn?
Safely removing mushrooms from a home lawn. Step 1 Before starting, put rubber gloves on, we don’t know if the mushrooms are poisonous so best to stay safe. Step 2 Put the opened plastic bag next to the mushroom to be removed. The plastic bag is used to carry the mushroom and soil to ensure no spores are dropped back onto the lawn. Step 3 Use the spade to dig a square or circle around the mushroom at least 5 inches or 12 cm away from the edge of the mushroom. Now dig down into the soil about 10 inches or 25 cm, and try to remove the entire amount of soil and sod in one go. We need to remove the soil in order to remove the root system and spores from the soil, otherwise they will grow back again. Step 4 Carefully place the soil and sod into the plastic bag, tie it up and place it into the waste bin. Step 5 Fill the hole with soil from the property and re-seed the turf, or let runner type turf to re-grow over the affected area.
