Pick them gently everyday, making a special effort to pull from the base of the stem, that's the best way to keep them from spreading. Do not mow over them, they can spread by exposure.
Try to reduce shade and moisture to the area.
Give it a yer, but be vigilant in picking them. If they're still there after next year, or if they get ridiculously worse, you might want to cut that area out and lay down new sod. If you do cut it out, poke around in the dirt for any food source like buried wood etc.
My last yard struggled with these off and on for a few years. By picking them everyday, I was able to reduce their numbers and eventually they went away. It sure was a pain though.
Just reiterating my note from the last time this came up. Do not bother digging up your grass if you're noticing random mushrooms in random places....especially this year with all the moisture.
