Very large tree got sick and had to come down. . . .
. . . LOTS of mushrooms, MONSTER
mushrooms. Each being between maybe 8 inches to ONE FOOT across (ie
diameter).
To date, I have not even touched one of them, they're so gross, much
less tried to dig one up.
. . .
How do I get rid of these things?

First, it would help to identify them (and thus identify the
underground fungus structures you cannot see.) The fastest
route would be to take photos (with a ruler in each picture to
indicate scale or size) and show them to a "mycologist" at
either an Agricultural Extension department (governmental)
or the Biology Dept. of some local college.
