Fungus in Veg Patch
« on: July 13, 2013, 20:06 »
I put a considerable amount of rotted manure into my raised beds over the winter and spring time. I am growing potatoes, onions and leeks and now amongst the crops there are clusters of mushrooms/toadstools.

I would just like to know if anyone is aware if these will have an adverse effect on the crops and if they should be removed in the same way as you would if they were weeds?

Just to clarify, the fungus is not growing on any plants/bulbs but in some area in between.

Thanks in advance.

I had this between my carrots in buckets which i put down to the naff compost. I just left them too it they appeared when we had lots of wet weather.

We have had problems with fungus in the bark pathways before but we just either stampled them down or hoed off.

I use mushroom compost which is horse manure with added lime and used to grow mushrooms before selling.
It's amazing for any greens and I sometimes get a few edible mushrooms come up!
I also get other fungi and in 5 years it hasn't been a problem just pulling them out.
