Mushrooms are fine to eat. You mean toadstools.you keep picking them straight away they'll disappear. There will be no spores left.
And try to keep it dry, fungi like damp.
Or educate the kids - a much better solution.

I like the idea of 'foraged food' but am an ignoramus about such things - are all wild mushrooms safe to eat!

Actually, some mushrooms are. You really need to be familiar with which ones are edible though.

If you want to get rid of them, pick them and eat or dispose of them. Dont let them mature or mow them as you will get more next year
