I dont know what to do ... or if it could cause problems .. the thing that is weird is they look like shrooms from possible fertilizers that were in shrub mix ... can this be a problem ... for my herb ..

I mean i would not mind having some shrooms i guess ... Its just not really my thing? will this be a problem ..

You too. No way. I had them growing off of decomposing leaves. They didnt affect my plants, they just help to break down the decomposing matter. But i wouldnt eat them, do they bruise blue on the stems?

Nah i dont, this was a while back. There is no reason it will affect your crop, they are fungi, but they wont attack your plant, they are actually providing more nutrients to your plant by breaking down living material. Mine looked Just like shrooms though, with tiny stems, and a cap with a little point at the top, but they didnt bruise blue. I had a crazy friend that came over and ate one, against my will, and said he had a body high, but im pretty sure he was full o' shit. Thank God he was alright.

Yea ill keep them growing and yea your right .. guess they cant hurt for some reason I just dont like the idea of spores everywhere ... but if I harvest them right and turn out to be what I think they are ... NIce ... But you say there stem have to bruise blue .. how should I go about that ... bent them a little when the get bigger or ... what....

mine look small iwith a decent cap .. bash, gold, brown look on the caps ... so that why Im trying to get some opinions ... its weird that these can grow together becuse the fan leaves give all that shade... but yet the room is still like 80 degress ... LOL ... so it works... I try to get some pics up on this post ... later or when they mature more .. thx for your opinion im glad they wont hurt.

They bruise really easily actually blades of grass in the wind tend to bruise their stems. So just squeeze the stem with your fingers, also when they are a decent size harvest quickly b/c they are known to disappear in one day. Also dont harvest them all and leave some leaves in the pot so that IF they are shrooms you may have a chance of them growing over and over for a while. Mine stayed for about 4-5 generations but i never picked mine. I thought it was the coolest thing EVER!! But if yours are shrooms waaaayyyy cooler.
