Mushrooms in garden?

In the last few days, mushrooms (at least that's what they look like to me) starting popping up in my front lawn.

I take care of my lawn, weed and feed it, water it in droughts (remember them?) etc. Why are these thingys popping up in my lawn. My neighbour doesn't have them eventhough his lawn is not well maintained.

Thanks in advance.

Here is the best way to treat them in my opinion- Mushrooms

Just make sure they are edible common field mushrooms. Many species are indeed poisonous. If in doubt , do not eat. Autumn is the time that mushrooms fruit and produce spores so you really only notice them now even though they produce very long filiments underground, many metres long. Soil is a substrate in which hundreds if not thousands of species of plants, animals, insects, fungi, bacteria and virus make their home. You are really fighting against the tide if you only want to actually see of those species, eg fescue or ryegrass lawn. I say knock or mow them off over the next 8 weeks, job done till next year.

If they are magic mushrooms then you're laughing.

Mushrooms thrive in enviorments that are rich in nutrients, which you provided. your neighbour did not.
