I have mushrooms sprouting in my Bermuda lawn as well as in my flowerbeds (particularly under bushes near the trunk). What causes this and how can I get rid of? Thanks!

Mushrooms grow on decayed matter, usually wood. If there are stumps or other remnants of trees in the lawn area, they are providing the fodder the mushrooms need to grow.
Mushrooms will also get cozy in the shaved wood products most of us use to mulch our beds.
Some huge white ones have sprouted in one of my beds.
Since mushrooms are basically harmless (if not eaten) and do not choke out other plants, you can just let them die naturally. Or kick them over to speed up the process or pluck them out and put them in a compost pile.
