Mow them down. The toadstools are the fruiting bodies of the fungus
which spreads by way of tiny threads (mycelium) in the soil. They
only fruit in the right conditions (i.e. plenty of rain) and in drier
conditions you probably won't see them at all. Almost impossible to
get rid of.

That's a nice easy solution! I've been reluctant to mow the lawn until
I received advice - just in case I made the problem worse.

Thanks for the help Jupiter.

I have exactly the same. It's got worse in the recent wet weather.

I suspect that the turf companies grow the turf on sterilised ex mushroom
compost to reduce soil loss. Looks like the sterilisation process isn't
perfect.
