Mushrooms in grow pots

**Joelhowath94** · 29-04-19, 06:34 PM

Hi there ive noticed over the last couple of days that i have been getting around 6 mushrooms in my frow pots.
I am growing jakera, and they are in the 2nd week of grow.

When the loghts come on theres no signs of mushrooms there but when loghts go out 12 hours later they are there.

Could someone please tell me why this is happening and has anyone else experience this before?

A soil grow I assume... what sort of soil, how old are your plants & how often are you watering?

It’s the fruiting body of a fungi mate I wouldn’t worry at all I seee these sometimes but it’s something I am personally happy to see as long as the others say and your growing in soil

Probably too hot . Mushrooms like cool damp and shaded sun . Not a full on HPS lamp lol

Probably the only problem here .

If the soil wasn't commercial or pre sterilized, there;s a good chanceit is simply hosting a species of mushroom as well. It is an indication that the soil has a lot of organic material to break down, which is actually a good sign for the soil's health. It could be a sign that the growing medium is a little wet, since mushrooms don't usually fruit unless they have high humidity and water content. Often, old mushroom grwing dirt is sold as garden soil... my aunt once had mushrooms EVERYWHERE after getting a new load of soil in. Keep your plants maintained like they weren't there, since they shouldn't cause problems...especially if you dry out the growing medium a little.
