Take a soil sample and have it analyzed...sounds like a possible ph problem.
...but I think toadstools are pretty, and moss is, too. |

Toadstools and mushrooms are the fruit of the underground organism which is decomposing some type of waste matter that is in your yard (think dead roots). This in turn benefits you with a healthier lawn. You have a choice of letting nature take its course or digging up your yard to find what is decomposing under the grass. Did you know that toadstools are classified closer to the animal kingdom vice the plant kingdom because of their digestive process converts their food source into sugar vice starch.

Not good news I'm afraid.
There is currently no chemical control for 'Fairy Rings' of fungi. The only known cure is to remove all the soil eight inches deep and for 20 inches either side of the ring. Replace with fresh top soil and reseed. http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profiles1000/fairy_rings.asp |

Don't bother. I do not believe in the scorched earth artificial approach to gardening, being from a farming family. Personally I like to see them and they will soon disappear without trace. Incidentally I was in a so called garden centre recently. It took me several minutes of weaving my way through patio heaters, decking, fancy lights etc before I could find anything to do with growing. Then I found that there were more products to kill thing animal and vegetable than there were to aid plant culture. Even things like woodlice, which are actually more beneficial than not. If I am wrong why do I grow all sorts successfully, including vegetables, when I only kill slugs and aphids? The latter with a squirt of washing up liquid solution.
