Default Mushrooms in my lawn.....

The message
from Kate Morgan contains these words:

snip
Aren't they fungii, rather than mushrooms?

as someone else has pointed out, mushrooms are edible fungi.


Mushrooms encompass any fungus with a cap and a stipe, some of which are
edible, most of which are inedible, and a few (proportionally) are
poisonous.

Even if you are going to (incorrectly) consider the genus Agaricus as
'mushrooms', there are two poisonous species in that. (Yer shop mushroom
is Agaricus bisporus)
