We didn't plant them and we don't harvest them, but they're here anyway growing in our mulched beds. What do we do about them? Nothing really. Mushrooms in the mulch are actually helping to decompose twigs, leaves, and other organic matter. Most disappear on their own in a few days. If they are bothersome to you in your garden you could pick them and dispose of them. Don't eat them, unless you are
110% sure they are edible. Here are two publications with more details on fungi: 'What's Growing in my Landscape Mulch' and Mushrooms and Other Nuisance Fungi in Your Lawn
