David and Carolyn Phillips of Reading, Berkshire, said they could not believe their eyes when the tarmac outside their home started lifting last week.
They thought the hump must have been caused by a tree root but when they called in an expert he was baffled.
It was only when Mr Phillips decided to cut away the top of the lump that he found the crop of mushrooms.
The tarmac driveway had been constructed about 20 years ago and there was no indication that anything may have been growing underneath, Mr Phillips added.
"None of the people we had contacted could believe that the eruption on the driveway could be caused by mushrooms. We can hardly believe it either."
