Mushroom squick

I am completely grossed out by the variety of mushrooms in my mossy lawn. I have dark brown ones, light brown ones, white ones, red with white spots, individual mushroom stalks, extended networks of continuous fungus, you name it. Step in it and guess what it feels like...? A slippery squish somewhat similar to dog poop.

I like the moss. I try to rake the leaves off gently so the moss stays green and soft. It's the ultimate in low maintenance lawn. Soft to walk on, stays green all winter, needs no mowing.

The crows and squirrels play out their competition by digging in the ground. They create little holes as the they search for items the squirrels hid earlier in the fall. Tearing up my lawn! Shoo, pests!

And, endless raking. I have raked a number of times already and still there is a ton of work to do. I have not even touched the front, which is covered in pine needles. the front has actual grass more than moss, and the ground is very compacted. I began to cut limbs from a pine tree to get more sun, so there are two large piles of tree cuttings as well as the infinite leaves.
