I always wondered why my neighbors have mushrooms and I don't, my best guess is my yard dies every year, not enough water. I think mushrooms like moist environments. But that is mearly a guess.

You must be talking about what we in Missouri call toad stools. Around here, its the moisture that makes them pop up (many are poisionous if ingested). They also love a layer of leaves. Can't stop the moisture, but keep the leaves raked and the yard mowed helps a lot. Also, some kinds can't stand acid, so a squirt of vinegar on them will shrivel them up--others types, it doesn't effect at all.
