Mushrooms thrive on moist soil and shade so unless you can trim back tree branches or move the house (hah) for more sunlight, you need to focus on getting rid of the ones you have. You can pick them up and throw them away or rake them out, along with leaves, twigs, and debris that also trap in the dark which encourages mushrooms.
Mushrooms grow on wood. Are they growing roughly in a line? There might be a scrap of lumber buried there. It will eventually decompose, and the mushrooms will stop. This happened to us. I dug one up and got rid of it, which stopped that patch. But I was too lazy to do the other one, and they stopped reappearing two years later.
I walk the dog around the neighborhood and find mushrooms of all varieties growing in the grass, on tree stumps, on trees. I marvel at the different types, sizes and colors I see. One thing I learned is that mushrooms grow in excrement (have you ever been to a mushroom farm.....you think pig sties are bad? P U). Well, as I am not the only one walking a dog there are many spots where mushrooms grow, I surmise, because of the excrement left behind (so please pick up after your pets). You might want to make sure the 'shrooms don't have a solid (tongue in cheek) foundation.
Try boiling water

"It's a sign that your soil is healthy and full of life. Also they are probably growing in the more moist sections of your lawn. You could try mowing higher, meaning you don't have to irrigate as much, meaning fewer mushrooms"
