Mushrooms can result from either over watering your grass or too much organics in it.
With regards to watering, the best time to water is in the early morning before as the sun is coming up. Plant functions shut down mid-day so that they neither absorb nor release vital water. If you water at night it leaves more time for the water to sit on the plant, grass, etc and promotes an environment for molds and bacteria.
With early morning watering you get the best of both worlds
1) any excess water not absorbed into the soil and remaining on the surface will dry off with the sun
2) plant functions will be at their highest allowing for the best "use" of the water.
In terms of the amount of time (length) that you should water, it depends on many factors, soil, plant type, climate, exposure, and if you want to get really technical, root zone depth, etc.
