    Help! mushrooms

    Hi everyone,

    i've just been to water my seedlings and i have mushrooms growing in the loo rolls my sweetcorn are in

    whats wrong with them? i'm using peat free compost and watering them via a sprayer the seedlings are healthy and growing well so whats happened and any ideas what i can do about it?

    thanks

    its perfectly normal. I get them too! Just ignore them - they're growing from the cardboard, in exactly the same way that normal mushrooms grow from wood in the ground. you'll probably find they disappear by the morning.

        hi elliesmummy, i had them too, in my broad beans which were also planted in loo rolls. my daughter was helping me plant them out yesterday and she thought that it was a bit "cheeky" of the mushrooms to "steal" the food from the broad beans (her favourites). Out of the mouths of babes eh!

          Perhaps you should have used clean loo rolls. You know what they say about mushrooms - keep them in the dark and feed them S41T

            A few years ago I tried peat free growbags and had the same thing - as long as your plants are healthy I'd ignore them.

              er.. don't think so. Not even sure you'd want to, to be honest. they're not healthy looking mushrooms.. thin, spindly, rather slimy looking. ick. At least the ones i had were. And by morning they were lying on the soil, almost dead. by noon, they'd vanished. personally i wouldn't take the risk.

                thats exactly what these are like, some of vanished and some new ones are appearing...

                if they are harmless i'll leave them.

                thanks again
