Mushrooms in my compost!

Duracell · « **on:** February 16, 2009, 17:11 »

For some reason this year I keep getting mushrooms in my seedlings. What should I do? I have included a pic. As you can see they are growing around the middle so I don't think the paper pots are to blame

:blink:

oo err

don't like the look of that.

I've not seen that before but,
What kind of compost is it............peat, peat free, bark based or what......might give us a clue.

Arthur Bowers multi purpose, one I have used loads before.

Errm I'd call them toadstools, they certainly aren't standard edible muchrooms!

Glad to hear it!

I was looking for tips on growing the edible sort though.

Probably from spores in the compost, reduced peat formula ??

I agree with Nobby. Take one of your pots with fungus to the retailer and ask for a replacement or your money back.

Typically I do not have the receipt, should I complain straight to aurther bower or try the shop without the recipt. Also I have 3 bags (large) do you think the others will be ok?

Go first to your supplier, if you get no joy there deal direct with Bowyers. Tell them on which website they can view the 'mushrooms' and i guess you'll get excellent service

They look like ink caps to me.
