Thanks Rattlesnakegal. Since we live near the 'Mushroom Capitol of the Country' (Kennett Square, PA), we called a local mushroom grower and spoke to a mycologist about this issue. She said that spaniels, labs and goldens seem to be the breeds that may be attracted to the mushrooms. We asked about applying lime to our lawn (found this suggestion on the internet) and she said no and had no recommendations to control the mushrooms. We even asked if our septic leach field could be contributing to the toxicity of the mushrooms and she said no. We bought a cloth muzzle but haven't taken the time to train our dogs to wear it without freaking out.
