Mushrooms: A Natural Part of Your Lawn
Many customers notice mushrooms in their lawn after periods of rain or humidity and wonder if they’re harmful to their grass. The common concern is, “Mushrooms are a fungus—this can’t be good for my lawn!” In reality, having mushrooms is not harmful. Mushrooms are a sign that your soil contains organic material, which is a great start! Mushrooms help break down that organic material and leave your soil more fertile, contributing to a vibrant lawn.
