Say, this rang a bell (I think)...

Applying redwood compost should help improve the soil's fungal populations (and diversity) better than a manure-based compost?

Wish I could come to your class. Are you going to teach in southern CA?

I live in the high desert. I've got mushrooms in my lawn. Does this
Mushrooms in the lawn indicate a lack fo diversity in the fungi. You have
one species "winning", and to stop the Shroom problem you need to improve fungal
diversity. It also indicates a probable piece of buried wood in your soil
somewhere, that the fungus is growing on. Again, to make the one species stop,
you need to improve fungal diversity, and as you suspected, also help out the
bacteria, so they out-compete the one "winner" fungus.
