I also have mushrooms lately. My concern is will they hurt my dogs or cats. They use that side of the yard to do their morning business. I keep it clean everyday. But my pets do sniff around the area. They don't seem interested with the mushrooms, but could it cause any type of infections.

I asked that same question a few weeks ago of a great NPR radio garden talk show host for 'You Bet Your Garden'. We have mushrooms growing up in the yard because they are busy eating up the wood left in the roots of a big old maple tree that was destroyed in a storm and had to be cut down. He said that if you sprinkle wood ashes in the areas where the mushrooms grow the pH will be changed and they won't grow. Just use the ashes from a bonfire or fire pit or fireplace. It is a safe, nontoxic method that shouldn't hurt any animals or toads/frogs or birds, etc. This guy is really into organic safe gardening.

The mushrooms will go away by themselves when the rotting roots from the tree finish decomposing. They really pose no threat other than they are un-sightly. if you have a dog or cat they will leave them alone generally animals know instinctively what is good and bad for them.

Generally, aerate and dry out the area. Remove branches that shade it, the source of the fungus growth, and reduce water levels. More here: www.ehow.com/how_5327466_rid-certain-area-rest...
