How do I rid myself of a garden of toad stools that have sprun up over a
tree removed three years ago. The stump was cut down but there is still
wood remaining 6" to 12" under the lawn. I have tried putting crystal lime
down but that has not worked. What chemicals can I use do get rid of these
pesty, ugly mushrooms.

Gasoline will get rid of them. If you can afford it...

put the gas in the lawnmower and run over them.

Can we do better than poison the grass and the toadstools or run over em and
spread the spores to hell and back. By putting lime on them I thought I was
changing the ph of the soil. Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction and
instead of hand fulls of lime pellets I should fertilize them. I am a
novice and I appreciate the responses, but they are not getting me where I
want to go.

There's no chemical you can purchase, that can kill them. Most of the
fungus is under the ground, feeding on the stump that wasn't removed. If
you want them them gone, pick them and throw them away, or dig up the
remaining root structure.
It's quite that simple.
