Thank you very much for the mushroom information. A master gardener at the University of Arizona told me to use sulfur. I found organic sulfur through a local company which is also online called Arbico.. I'm looking into whether that will be safe for my box turtles and any tortoise I may adopt in the future. The gardner explained that I need to change the pH of the soil, and that I could also do this in a slower way with ground-up eggshells and/or salt. I have found that each time I take the mushrooms out, if there is even just a little bit of rain they return within 3 to 6 days, so I know I need to do something more.

Sounds nuts to me. Sulfur is used by gardeners to ACIDIFY soil, whereas eggshells and salt are very ALKALINE. Both will change your pH, but in opposite directions.
Also too much salt will harm your plants.
