Warning, warning, they're everywhere!!!!!!!!
What's with all the mushrooms growing on the lawns. Is it because of all the rain or have we been invaded by beings from outer space. Does the lawn services spray for them? ![]()

No need to spray, they will be gone in a few days. No need for warning unless you plan to eat them once.
A fairy ring, also known as fairy circle, elf circle, elf ring[1] or pixie ring, is a naturally occurring ring or arc of mushrooms. The rings may grow to over 10 metres (33 ft) in diameter, and they become stable over time as the fungus grows and seeks food underground. They are found mainly in forested areas, but also appear in grasslands or rangelands. Fairy rings are detectable by sporocarps in rings or arcs, as well as by a necrotic zone (dead grass), or a ring of dark green grass. A fungus, mycelium, is likely to be present in the ring or arc underneath. Info here: Fairy ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some of them are deadly. You and dog both should refrain from eating them, unless you are an experienced mushroom picker.

Don't touch them with bare hands. They are toxic to you too.

So I have some mushrooms that keep popping up in my pot of rosemary and lemon thyme. I either pull them out (with a plastic bag around my hand to catch as many spores as possible) or they die out; however, my concern is whether or not the herbs are absorbing any toxins that might have been in the shrooms through their root system. Any thoughts??? The rosemary (prostrate) is really establishing itself and cascading nicely as I had hoped - the lemon thyme seems to be suffering (mushroom toxins)??? It would be easy enough to throw them out, but I actually brought both these herbs back with me from last visit to NC because I could not find them here.
