    Fungi colonies grow very fast-some can double in size every 24 hrs. Many species of fungi have air born spores, so they were probably "planted" by the wind. As soon as the weather dries out or gets really cold where you are, they'll die. They might come back if you have a spell of warm wet weather.

    They sell anti-fungal powders in garden centers. Many have sulfur in them, so be careful if you have pets or small children who play in your yard.

    Not that you need to be told this, but DON'T EAT THEM unless you're 100% sure what kind they are.

    Where Do Mushrooms Come From

    They come from spores carried on the wind. The bad news is they are nearly impossible to get rid of, because 95% lives underground. They are the sign of healthy soil and do no harm. If you don't like them you can kick'm, pick'm, mow'm or leav'm they'll be gone in a few days and won't be back until this time next year. RScott

    Mushrooms can spring up literally overnight. The spores are almost always around; it just takes the right conditions, and they'll grow very rapidly. Once your weather dries out a little, they'll be gone; don't sweat it :-)

    Mushrooms are fungi. Therefore, given the right conditions, they'll grow just about anywhere. It rained for nearly several days on end, and we ended up getting a nice batch of 'shrooms. They tend to die off of their own accord if the conditions change.

    I love eggplant. Google recipes for Eggplant Parmiagana, Mousakka, Stuffed Eggplant, Baba Ganouj, Eggplant Curry and Ratatouille. You can also use it in Vegetable Lasagne. You need to slice and salt eggplants and leave then to sit for half an hour to draw out bitter juices. Then rinse, dry and proceed with recipe. Small finger lenght eggplants due not need soaking. Make sure you select shiny fresh eggplant and check for insect damage.Look for tiny holes epecially around the green cap. If there are wholes their will be an insect burrowed inside like you find sometimes with apples.

    get an antifungal and apply to the lawn, also pick all the mushrooms as they come up. once the tops open on them, they spred more spores and can make the problem worse.

    They both are Perfect for your health. If you eat both, you're better off. But yea, I'd personally choose fruits because they taste better.

    It is determined by the fruit or plant involved with a comparison. In the event you compare a farreneheit to a carrot, the carrot is the better of the two nutritional. When you compare an avocado to the carrot, then this avocado is better. The two the apple and avocado, are fruits.
