Unwanted Mushrooms in Raised Bed
This is the second time I've found horrible looking mushrooms growing in my raised tomato bed. These things are AWFUL. White, stringy, with diseased-looking black caps. They shoot up like undead claws around the stem of each plant.
I used mushroom compost as one of the ingredients in the bed. I've had mushrooms pop up in other beds before but they were much less disgusting and I ignored them. I read it could mean the soil is a bit wet (the tomatoes are not showing signs of overwatering). Is there anything I can or should do? Should I pull them out, or will that just spread more spores? They wilt and collapse in the heat but don't go completely away. |
