The lawn has been laid over a huge amount of debris left by the
builders of this new house I also believe this may contain Laurel
Bushes and similar. your answer makes very good sense.

Help


Some things that might stop them.

1 Stop watering your lawn

2 Make the rain stop

3 Dig the area up & remove all traces of any wood, be it construction
debris, tree branches, old roots, etc. Mushrooms thrive on buried
rotting wood.

All three options will basically ruin your existing grass.

Cutting your grass a bit shorter than normal *might* help, allowing the
sun to dry the soil more quickly. Unfortunately this is also not too
good for the lawn.

I've heard a golf club is a somewhat entertaining way to remove them (grin)
