Mushrooms or toadstools

Mowed the lawn today and found quite a lot of mushroom looking things.

Anyone know how to get rid of them please?

    You could just enjoy their presence. They do no harm, apart from slightly discolouring the lawn as they deplete nutrients from the soil. If you must get rid of them, well you could try feeding the lawn. Many fungi only grow on poor soil, and 'improving' the soil will deter them. Then you have to cut the lawn more often. Hohum. I have St Georges mushroom, Wood Blewits and Clavaria vermicularis on my lawn. I rather like them.

    I pull mine up carefully with gloves and dispose of them (wee ones around) just incase. No clue what type they are, but don't get too many now since doing this for a few years.
