Anyone Ever Have A Mushroom Pop Up Out Of Their Soil?

I went to water my plants this morning, i grow indoors in 4x4 ft grow beds, and discovered a small wild mushroom growing out of the topsoil. Im sure its possible that there could be some dormant mushroom spores in the soil that i bought but i have never seen or heard of anyone having this happen.

eat it.....

don't though... but do take a picture - that's hilarious...

If Anything grows out of the soil other than Herb & theres no chance it was introduced by me. I'd change soils/brand. They've shown themselves unreliable! first shrooms then bugs!

Yea thats pretty shitty of the company who sold the fungus infected soil. But then again are your putting a hazmat suit on everytime you enter the room? If not you coulda easily carried a microscopic spore into the room.

My soil is Roots Organic and Canna mixed with sunshine brand Canadian Peat, all very respectable brands.

You rascal, you!

Uuuhhhhhhh, the mushroom is not a bad thing, but you may want to pay close attention to the dry part of the wet/dry cycle.

DO NOT EAT IT !!!!!!!!!!

No worries, back off on your watering some.

Wet

I had some in a houseplant once.

Cant argue with that!!! those are good brands. I have used Roots & sunshine #4 & both performed as advertised.

Fungus and bugs are not necessarily bad for your plant. A balanced soil ecosystem will actually benefit from the right fungus and bugs. Wet dry cycle means you want to let your soil dry up a little bit prior to the next watering. The pots get lighter and the first 2 inches of soil gets dry. Too much water encourages fungus to grow.

I know of may organic farmers who cherish beneficial myco flora and good bugs that eat the bad bugs.

Don't sacrifice the forest to save the tree.

Hows the humidity in your room? thats weird man...hopefully its not a toadstoole from fungi in your soil...

N L's right. Also, mushrooms mean that you have some good rich soil. So stay present course Captain, easy on the water.

I've had some clovers pop up in my fox farm soil haha

I Hear you Brah...Fungi,Bacteria,Benificial microbes & insects I get it. Got it...Moisture,Light,Heat=Fungus/Mold I get it...
My point with the soil was..That if somthing grows out of my soil that is not listed on package or placed there by me, benificial or not I aint feelin that.. I see the soil as contaminated! Today Shrooms -tomorow bugs!
I was asking WET how the heavy watering was related to the shroom. from what he wrote I got the impression that the shroom is a result of overwatering & not contaminated soil. Nor did I imply that he should ditch the herb...Its all love NLNo5....PEACE...

I pulled out a little mushroom the other day.. Also found a strand of grass before and a clover..
I think its to do with soil moisture level and humidity.

Im using guanokalong soil..

mushrooms are good, just a sign of healthy mycorrhizae
