Practically overnight, our lawn has been "taken over" with mushrooms!
You must have had some wet weather. Here is how to cope:

Lasted one day and vanished the next with just blackened ground
That is in the genus Coprinellus. They don't last long, and will deliquesce within a day or two.
I think I have dead man’s finger growing in my new raised vegetable garden bed. I filled the beds with Kellogg’s Organic Plus raised bed soil. Could this be what is causing the fungus? Will it hurt any of the vegetables planted in the bed?
It could be stinkhorns and they pose no threat. No control is needed.
They attach with a black fan-like pattern. Some grow up side of pot and attach to pot.
They are coprinoid mushrooms, but at this point very hard to tell exactly which. The caps turn into a mushy, spore-laden mixture and just so happen to stick to whatever they are touching at the time.
They are not considered harmful, by any means. You should not eat them, however, because some of the coprinoid mushrooms will cause serious discomfort.

Unfortunately, without photos I can't say much about the situation. Fungi are tricky, and you can worsen an issue by trying to treat it, but it can be an even bigger issue if it happens to be a detrimental fungus.
Generally, though, plants and fungi thrive in totally different conditions. If it is ideal for one, it is not ideal for the other. In most cases, the mushrooms that survive in less than ideal conditions are not detrimental to plants or trees.
Ir order to rid the area of mushrooms, you must remove the conditions in which they thrive. Most of the times, this will simply mean that the soil remains way too wet. Watering once the soil (NOT THE MULCH) dries down to about 3 or 4 inches, thoroughly. Though, in your area, there is rarely enough of a drought to water at all with mulch.
Treating with a fungicide may or may not help. Mushrooms generally won't respond to them quickly. This will need to be done over a whole season, along with keeping the area dry.
Here are some articles that will help you:
I found 8 devils teeth or bleeding teetg fungi and would like to report it.I'm not sure to who tho. When reading up on these they are really rare to find.Just curious as what to do with them. I see that they are used for medicinal uses as well.
Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the mushroom in question. There are a few species in the genus Hydnum, so it is important to be sure that this is what you have. As far as who to report to, Mushroom Observer is a good website to post findings. This is a place to note what and where you find something. You might be surprised to find others in your area that have documented the species, as well!
There are several medicinal compounds within the fungus. Please do not consume it until you have done enough research to be comfortable doing so. Even then, I would seek dosage advice from published medical studied. PubMed may have some information on this subject.

Hi. Can I relocate birds nest fungi from my flower bed to my compost pile, or directly to my raised garden beds I'm preparing for next year? Thank you.
You could move some to your garden, yes. It wouldn't do well in a properly kept compost pile.
