mushrooms?

[bubbless]

so i went to go transplant one of my babies today and after the top couple inches of coco fell off, when i was taking her out of the one gallon pot, i discovered these little fellows.

i have never seen this before, and don't really know what to think of it? if any one has any info. or experience with this, please let me know!

as of right now, i went through with the transplant then flushed with some SM-90, and hygrozyme, i don't know if that'll do anything but it's all i have right now.

bubbles i believe that jeftec from skunk magazine had a write up and said they were toxic little bugers not psychedelic dre

i had no intentions of eating them, just looking for some info about the harm they might cause to my plant? (if any)

thanks for the heads up though

I've seen'em before.
Either watering too frequently or the ambient humidity is too high. If you're recycling your coco I wouldn't reintroduce that particular batch, as the spores may spread and the odds are against them being helpful, even if they aren't harmful, are low.

Would be sooo cool if they were the 'good' mushies.

Could you imagine harvesting nugs and shrooms at the same time in the same pot.

 

[humble1]

Would never happen because of the high NPK used in cannabis cultivation
no psychedelic fungi can handle ppm that high.
would be cool, though....

people grow mushies on coir as a substitute to pasteurized manure.
those arent anything you want to eat and you def would not want to leave them in with your plant.

cool pics though

i don't recycle coco. i water every other day, a lot of people i know water everyday so watering too frequently doesn't make sense to me?

the humidity is around 40%

thanks for the help man!

It's possible that your canopy is so dense that there's a localized pocket of high humidity underneath it. The stomata are on the bottom of the leaves and they are what breathe in and out for the plant. This transpiration and the lack of light hitting the soil line (yes, coco, i know) could be the answer.
Otherwise my hands are up in the air of general confusion.

no ... but close....people who grow mushies can use coir as a casing material..or part of casing material (on top of colonized substrate)....coir has no nutritional value ..mushies need poo, grain, compost, something to eat...

close though...

coir is fungi food , fungi are not plants.

as anyone thought that the spores could have been in the coco you bought and that's where it came from in the first place?? What brand of coco are you using??

thank you for keeping this thread on track!

that particular coco is "down to earth" and i noticed as i was hydrating it and breaking the brick apart, that there was pieces of plastic, some electrical tape, and a few rocks and what not.

as to my canopy being to thick, hate to say i'm pretty sure thats not the case. only three decent sized plants in this room, not a dense canopy at all, and a lot of air flow through out the entire room, not just the tops of the plants. there are fans blowing across the base of the plants as well as all across the tops. and the way these plants are growing light hits the top of the coco in the containers.


thanks for all the help, and info. i appreciate it guys.

I would really think if everything your saying is true with your environment then those mushies could have for sure come from that coco with the electircal tape and plastic(LMFAO) I duno the only thing I ever find in my coco is larger chunks of coconut husk and that upsets me haha.

I might think about switching the brand of coco you are using? Hope all works out. Peace

haha yes everything is true, and thats why i'm very confused about this, i'll get some pictures of the plants up shortly.

i was very disappointed in my findings in the down to earth coco i got, so i will be going back to using GH compressed bricks.

 

[humble1]

The likelihood that a spore survived the compression/heat treatment that the blocks get is astronomically against.
I'll say that again.
Astronomically unlikely.
You must have introduced it or else it is in the room because of unfiltered intake. Even the possibility of that is fairly low, that's why you so rarely hear about mushrooms on the growing substrate.
Don't lose sleep about it, brother.
They aren't hurting anything, just doing their own thing in your space.

I've seen fruiting mushies several times in coco. (Not only in coir grown cannabis pots, but many different plants. Even in coco dominated soil-free cacti-mix in the middle of a city.

I mostly use canna or loose coco coir. (Haven't seen any in the CoGr boards yet...)

this is a clear case of someone who doesnt know wtf they are talking about.

YOU CAN grow mushies off STRAIGHT coir.

i can get 4oz+ off a small coir monotub.
go research a little more.

where it came from could be the damndest of places, mushroom spores can travel far and they are so light, it could have been the weirdest incident that brought one inside.

After harvesting a plant last year I left the pot in my livingroom and the next morning there was a mushroom...where it came from, no idea, but probably through the window or door or my shoes even.
Its like when you own a dog- doghair gets in the damndest of places! I still find the odd dog hair from my dog who died over 3 years ago....

haha interesting thread, lets keep it on track though huh? like was said the mushroom will do no harm to the plants, what seems strange is that it would be able to survive in the same conditions as cannabis. i always thought mushrooms need high humidity. but i guess some are not as picky about enviorment as others. i would be more worried by the other crap in the coco then the growing mushroom. also considering the junk left in there, maybe they weren't particular about the steam treatment either. still funny how the hell that shroom survived with 40% rh? i've seen weeds growing out of the crack between start cubes and the coco, but never mushrooms.
