I've heard it can come in with the seed, and now the spores are probably spread throughout your soil. I always try to catch it in the "wet" stage and remove it from the field. I've never heard of a cure for it. It is a delicacy in Mexico.....time for some Mexican contracts!

I don't know how to get rid of it.

Many find it very good to eat. Look it up. enjoy. (It does have a hurdle in the looks department, but so does liver.) Jim
