Mushrooms growing outta my Roots 707

[Arthritis_sucks]

I have never seen or even heard of this happening. What is it and why is it happening?

Wow thats pretty wild. Maybe excessive humidity and mosture. I know fungi like humid warm environments.

I've had this as well. Only recently when I started using the rapid rooters. They showed up when I was vegging under fluorescents, when I switched to my HPS's they died off. The humidity wasn't that high in my room. I'm thinking the rapid rooters were the culprit.

I freaked out when I opened the door one morning to pots full of shrooms,overnite!!!
I called aurora(roots organic)and talked to the owner,he said not to worry
its an organic product so its natural to occur,and I might have been watering too much as well
he will be coming to a hydro expo in san francisco later this month,he's a great guy to learn some soil science from.
I had 2 or 3 different kinds of shrooms,wish I took pics of them...call aurora yourselves to verify,they are great about customer help.............my $0.02

I was thinking they weren't bad and it was a case of fertile rhizosphere. Just got a lil too wet I guess, gonna let them dry out a lil more between waterings.

YES!!! A mushroom pic. Haven't seen one of these in awhile. Anybody remember that pic that went around with mushrooms in a guys hydro rez? Now that was nasty.

It happens sometimes.

seen this happen few times.. usually its with the yellow mushrooms

basically your soil is staying too wet between waterings, that combined with the fact that either your plants are in a lower light environment, or the canopy is thick, and the base has very little light.. usually there will be leaves that will fall down and act as food for the mycelium after it breaks down... and if the top of the soil stays moist, the mycellium will be able to colinize the top layer of soil, then pin out.. let your soil completely dry out for a few waterings, and it will kill off the mycelium.. i would then say use some enzymes to clean up the mess.

That's where I've seen em before... composted tree bark... going to have some fungal spores in the mix.

Been through sheets... they pop up here & there.

Likely any soil mix will have spores too.


Question for you... are you growing weed or shrooms? cull em! ;-)
