I've never been a fan of eating fungus. My yard is just a bunch of weeds also...doesn't get much sun. I don't have a front yard...just the driveway and a planting bed with shrubs between the 2 driveways.

I do believe we've had too much rain then...these are about the size of a softball.

Great nephew...but...baseball season is over...on to football now. They've had 6 practices scheduled...4 have been cancelled because of the storms. They'll practice in rain...but...not when there's lightning in the area.

Sounds like what we had to deal with a couple of years ago. That was the year that we received 17" in June. By August the yard was brown from no rain.

All of that rain could have been white crap. As long as that mud doesn't turn hard, I'd say that you're doing fine. LOL
