Well I have been reading about mushrooms a lil bit and some people say they break down the organic waist to make it more easily taken by the plant is this true I'm not saying your wrong am just trying to get a discussion going about it. As for them conditions being the right? I have had about 2 weeks of humid weather is this what causes them. That and the spores being in my soil???

who said he was eating them, he meant good or bad, pertaining to his garden. Not sure if theyre good or bad, ive heard of mushroom compost being used in soils, so it has to be benificial, in what ways idk

I've got shrooms coming up in my indoor plants.. it's been really humid due to the monsoon rains. I'm curious to find out what people have to say too. They don't appear to be doing any harm but I don't know for sure. I just pluck em and chuck em.

Ironic twist after trying to grow the real thing myself with mixed results. If you've done it then you know about all the perfect humidity, sterility, air exchange, blah blah. Never really understood why it's not possible to just 'grow' them like they grow naturally.

They definitely look active so i can't positively ID them seeing as how i only pick two types of shrooms and these aren't one i've them. I'd tell you to do a spore print in a few days when they're mature but the last time i checked, mushrooms are fungi, and fungi eat wood so i'd get them out. They'd be feeding on the woodchip right now.

Well, only eat them if you want to die- personally, I'd pick them and throw them out.

The first look worrisomely like Armillaria mellea, oak root fungus. I've had those absolutely lay waste to ornamental trees and shrubs at two different properties in CA. Bad bad bad ... not toxic, but destructive.

The second could be inky caps (Coprinus sp.) from unfinished compost. Saprophytes; not dangerous to beast or plant. When I had a compost pile, first came the heat, then the earthworms, and finally a huge flush or two of inky caps. To me that was the "halfway" mark for composting. cn

The soil I'm using is kellogg patio plus potting soil and has chunks of bark so wouldn't it be good to have the shrooms break the wood down to useable food for my plant?

Two of you with shrooms :!:
I guess this calls for a little info rather than mystery. :?:

A mushroom cluster indicates wood rot. Decaying wood.

wood chips that are often used in landscaping... have too much carbon and can deprive your plants of nitrogen....

Please do yourself a favor and do a little reasearch. First loose the shrooms:idea:

This info on many gardening sites.
Scroll down to small tree branches

Anyone else? So is this the final thought? Do they need to go or what. It's hard for me to listen to a couple of people's opinion and think of it as a fact!!! I have done research and am getting mixed answers. Some say good keep them and others say bad pluck them?

Mushrooms in the soil with your plants are a good sign of a healthy soil full of organic matter. Mushrooms do help to break down the nutrients in the soil and what not..But don't eat them...and you can either leave them, or take them out... Do remember though that people add mycorrhizae to their soil to help with plant processes and to boost rooting and improve the overall health of their plants...and mycorrhizae is a beneficial fungus that also will cause mushrooms to grow...

So if they stay they won't kill my girls right? Keep in mind this is a beautiful healthy big plant and I only have 33 days or so till I flush she is full fledged flowering with over 40 tops and lst'ed the Hell out of. Will this effect my yield I'm hopping for a half pound.

just to reaffirm, mushrooms are a good sign of a healthy soil. this is the correct answer. now can the mushrooms cause problems? perhaps. but very very unlikely if the plant is healthy.

Ink Caps are awesome! I had some Coprinus Comatus also known as 'The Shaggy Mane' growing in my front yard in the begining of the summer due to heavy rain. They're very neat looking when the gills in the cap start to auto-digest. Also I have read that they're good eating if you pick them young before the cap starts to open. I never did have the balls to try one though lol. Heres a couple pics I Took:

It's pretty cool how the cap actually melts and drips an ink like substance to spread it's spores...
