our new vegetable garden is growing right on schedule. all of the vegetables look pretty darn happy and seem to be warding off unwanted diseases and nasty pests so far ("kenna hora nicht pooh pooh pooh", as my grammy would say), save for those damn mushrooms that are back with a serious vengance!
ms. wolfie wisely noted that i shouldn't worry about them (and interweb has confirmed many times over); their presence signifies good organic matter in our soil...but they are pissing me off. BIG TIME. ugh.
short of replacing all of the soil ($$$), i don't know what to do. really, just turn a blind eye and let the fungi live in harmony with my heirloom lettuce? that's the plan, for this summer at least. might rethink in the fall....

aw, poor little mushrooms--gettin a bad rap :)
I don't know if solarizing your soil (with thick black plastic) over the winter would help, but it might heat everything up enough to kill any extra spores still hanging around.
