Why are mushrooms growing in my yard? Experts share 3 reasons why fungi keeps popping up in your garden

Why are mushrooms growing in my yard.

There's no denying that the world of mycology is an interesting one. In fact, many types of mushrooms are ornamental and the edible kind can be a valuable addition to your kitchen garden. However, it can be disconcerting to see unexpected mushrooms crop up in your yard, as many can be poisonous to humans and pets.

Unless you're growing mushrooms intentionally, wild mushrooms that appear in your backyard can be an indicator that something is off balance in your outdoor space. Overly wet soil, for example, may cause mushrooms to grow in lawn or even among flower beds. Not only might they be dangerous to your health, but you might also not want them disturbing your carefully curated planting.
