Hi, for two years now, my front lawn has had these massive hard mushroom looking growths that flourish at the end of the summer into fall. Last year I removed about 6 of them and they are back again. The root system is about 2-3 inches deep. The growth is about 4 to 6 inches wide.

Expert Response
I forwarded the picture to our mushroom expert and will sent you the results when he replies. Mushrooms of this sort may indicate a rotting tree root in the lawn. You may have to dig down and remove the root to get rid of the problem.
