Default Mushrooms that look like Brains??

on 8/12/2008 8:00 PM FLSTCI said the following:
I have some mushrooms growing on my front lawn. Not the usual kind
that look like the ones you'd put on pizza, (they LOOK like those).

These mushrooms look like brains, (really!)

I dig them up, and they take divots out of my lawn that are 6" deep.
In less than a week they're back.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to eradicate them??

Thanks!
