sounds like white rot nothing you can do only lift and dispose of the crop DON@T COMPOST it use the ones that have a good size but they will not store
trouble with white rot it stays in the soil for eight years I have half of my plot affected
try and grow on another part of the plot.

Not sure how true this is because i don't have it on my plot "yet"
But i've been told to put lime down a week or two before planting, apparently it knocks the fungus back a bit giving your sets chance to get going.

Is it fluffy white mould? or flat and mildewy looking?
Makes a lot of difference... :)
