   I find Agaricus subrufescens reliably but sparingly growing in my back   
   yard.  The almond aroma of this mushroom is heavenly, reminding me of   
   almond-flavored biscotti.  There are a few popping up now in the grass   
   thatch.   
      
   I took a whole, mature mushroom, put it in a large measuring cup with a   
   little bit of water, and mashed it using a fork.  After the mushroom was   
   suitably mashed I filled the cup with water and mixed in a little fish   
   emulsion.  I dribbled the solution into the open areas of the backyard   
   containing adequate thatch.  Will continue the procedure as more   
   mushrooms appear.  Will report later if the mushroom population shows   
   any increase.   
      
   If we don't get adequate rain in the next couple weeks I may have to   
   break out the lawn sprinkler.   
      
   When I used to work at a winery, we used a flail mower to mow the   
   vineyard.  This would flail the grass down and into the dirt, and leave   
   a dirt/grass mulch on the surface.  Agaricus campestris would grow all   
   over the place where we used that mower.  Use to pick bags of the stuff.
