I am looking for some help with these mushrooms. We have what look like two different types of mushrooms growing in our lawn (following some topsoil application) and we need to eradicate them since we have small babies who are at the ‘eatingeverything’ stage! Could anyone help identify and also offer ideas to eradicate safely? Many thanks

I believe there are a very cosmopolitan species of Coprinus sp. now called Parasola sp. which appear appear one day and are usually gone the next from our lawns. I too have had them recently.
