Default Mushrooms or toad stools

Can we do better than poison the grass and the toadstools or run over em and
spread the spores to hell and back. By putting lime on them I thought I was
changing the ph of the soil. Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction and
instead of hand fulls of lime pellets I should fertilize them. I am a
novice and I appreciate the responses, but they are not getting me where I
want to go.

How do I rid myself of a garden of toad stools that have sprun up over a
tree removed three years ago. The stump was cut down but there is still
wood remaining 6" to 12" under the lawn. I have tried putting crystal
lime down but that has not worked. What chemicals can I use do get rid
of these pesty, ugly mushrooms.


Gasoline will get rid of them. If you can afford it...

put the gas in the lawnmower and run over them.
