When the sun hits them or when the soil dries out they will disappear. Fungus growth indicates you have decaying organic matter in your backyard. Teach your grandchildren not to touch mushrooms, and keep a careful watch on the youngsters. |

Some common mushrooms (mostly in the genera Amanita and Galerina) are so toxic that the amount of material accumulated on the fingers could cause harm if ingested. It is wise to wash one's hands immediately after handling those species. I believe children are particularly sensitive to many toxins, possibly because of their low body weight.
