Sorry to go back to basics but I have had many Mushrooms on my lawn
and never bothered with them until they have gone what could be eating
them ? The garden is quite secluded so no humans ase involved. One day
they are present the next clean as a wistle could it be hedgehogs?

It's unlikely to be the hedgehogs, their preferred diet is more
carnivorous in nature.

Deer seem to like fungus, and I suspect that rabbits will have a
nibble too - but I think it most likely that it's down to slugs and
snails.
Certain species of fungus seem to act like a magnet for them, and
given the structure of a mushroom it doesn't take long for half a
dozen slugs and snails to eat the thing right to the ground.

Could be your neighbours though

Regards,
