What (besides rain) causes fungi to develope in my yard?

Well, fungi reproduce by spores, so that is the ultimate reason they are there. Once a fungus gets going, it forms a mat of material that is usually not visible (a mycelial mat). The mushrooms you see are just the fruiting body of the fungus. Most of the organism is in the mycelial mat. When the temperature and humidity are right, this mat produces the mushrooms, but the mat itself needs to be feeding on something. Usually that is dead wood or leaves. The specifics depend on the exct type of fungus you have.What (besides rain) causes fungi to develope in my yard?
Friend Fungi is something that remains in crystalline form but when exposed to water it grows so sometimes its living n sometimes non-living.In ur yard fungi is caused perhaps due to dew drops humidity and check if u have leaking water pipe nearby.What (besides rain) causes fungi to develope in my yard?
Of course they need water, but they also need food. Most of the time fungi in a lawn are heterotrophic (eating dead organic material). I see mushrooms often over dead roots. Remember the fungi can live unseen just as mycelia, but the fruiting bodys are the mushrooms we see.





It is often thought that there is something lacking in the soil to promote fungal growth. This may be partially true. However, I like to think that there are few green organisms (plants) that will eat a dead root, so the fungi are necessary to break down dead organic matter.

fungi develop in the presence of moisture which apart from rain can be caused by atmospheric humidity

rotten grass and leaves.
