As long as fungal inhabitants of a garden are not Honey Fungus, (the above look to be the wrong colour, so you're safe), they are an indicator of a healthy soil.
It is the symbiotic interplay between plant roots and fungal hyphae that contributes to soil health, with fungal activation of phosphate minerals from the soil being 'traded' for sugars with plant roots being the most commonly referenced.As long as you don't have a child who might be tempted to eat the above fruiting bodies, just leave them. If you really don't like them, collect them and put them in your compost bin.
Gievn suitable weather conditions, (normally in the UK 'Autumnal', reasonable temperatures, damp, but no frost), they'll be back.

My lawn seems to be sprouting loads of mushrooms, no idea why. I put some grass seed down recently but surely that won't have caused it. What's the best way to get rid of them, will pulling them all up stop them coming back? Cheers
