Like @Fairygirl said, do it when it needs doing. Here that can be twice a week if it rains plenty, but more often one is enough. Its growth might slow down in future years when it's used up some of the goodness, and will also be slower in a drier summer. Just do what you can, and if it gets away from you (eg due to unrelenting rain), raise the mower blades and reduce the height gradually over several cuts.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
The uneven growth may be because of the fungal mycelium still present in larger quantities than usual and is releasing lots of plant food which is feeding the grass in those areas where it is most active (you can see the same effect in circular 'fairy rings'.) As others have said, it will settle down as the remaining organic matter from the mushroom compost is broken down.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
