Whatever you do, don't do this.try pouring peroxide on the plant every day to every second day until it's gone. If you attack the mycelium it'll die. Your plant is OK but the mushroom is taking up nutrients from the soil. Maybe check what kind it is, maybe you can eat them
umm the mycelium is the "root structure" of the mushroom, the mushroom it self is the "leaf" getting rid of the mushroom will do nothing at all, it'll grow backWhatever you do, don't do this.
Mycelium and mushrooms are entirely two different things.
That mushroom is harmless. Get rid of it if you want.
This is really bad advice. Hydro, yes. Soil, no.try pouring peroxide on the plant every day to every second day until it's gone. If you attack the mycelium it'll die. Your plant is OK but the mushroom is taking up nutrients from the soil. Maybe check what kind it is, maybe you can eat them
im new but i read somewhere that some mediums and fertilizer, oh ya, i think it was on a site about Foxfarm. that the medium or fert can cause or develope shrooms and other fungi but "not to be alarmed" not actualy quote but something to that effect. basically it was saying that ur medium or fert is doing it's job, ikd.......i would ask a more experienced, or seasoned person.Mycelia is a visible collection of hyphae threads grown from spores fungi that span throughout the soil. They add structure to soil. Mushrooms are jsut fruiting bodies of fungi. A bacterial tea drench would be a better advice to improve bacteria/fungi balance since fungi dominates in low ph soil. Or adding some lime would work without causing soil imbalance. H2O2 would be ideal for hydroponic environment.
Lol thats what I use fox farm.im new but i read somewhere that some mediums and fertilizer, oh ya, i think it was on a site about Foxfarm. that the medium or fert can cause or develope shrooms and other fungi but "not to be alarmed" not actualy quote but something to that effect. basically it was saying that ur medium or fert is doing it's job, ikd.......i would ask a more experienced, or seasoned person.

HERE IS THERE STATEMENT=
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]What is the NPK of your soils?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]All of our soil products offer balanced nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. We pH adjust them to a neutral range of 6.3 – 6.8. Because of the premium organic ingredients that we use, there is no risk of burning your plants. Our soils are ready to use, right out of the bag. There is no NPK listed on our soil packages because they are not fertilizers, but growing mediums. The real power of our soils lies in the fact that they are teeming with beneficial micro-organisms. Our soils are never steam sterilized, which allows these microorganisms to thrive and convert the organic nutrients into a form the plant can utilize.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Why do I occasionally see fungi in my soil?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Here at FoxFarm we understand you may have questions regarding a natural phenomenon that can occur in our bark-based growing mediums. We would like to help you understand what this is. Within a few days of planting you may begin to notice a brownish-yellow fungal mass that appears on the surface of your mix. You may also notice small amounts of a green fungus that forms around the ventilation holes of your soil bags. You may ask yourself the following.
What is it? These fungi are actually a naturally occurring substance that can be found on certain types of barks, such as composted pine barks, which are a good thing. They let you know that the soil is alive and the biological micro-organisms within the soil are doing their jobs to assist in creating a healthy soil web.
Why does it happen? Pine bark is aged and composted for long periods of time before the final screening and use in our mixes. The natural ageing process of the bark occurs during the composting process and is facilitated by the microbes naturally found in our environment. With the proper conditions consisting of the right temperature and moisture, the fungi produce mycelium (white strands) in the windrows. This is the vegetative stage of the fungus. When the bark is properly aged, it is then blended into our mixes with other fine ingredients and bagged. With the right moisture levels, coupled with warm sunny days, these soil microbes will grow and you may see them in your bags. Healthy soils are ideal conditions for fungi to complete their life cycle.
Here, at FoxFarm, we treat organics as they were meant to be treated: as living organisms. This means that each soil blend is not steam-sterilized, but rather a living creature full of life. This may be why you have not noticed these fungi in other soils as they may be steam-sterilized. These natural fungi are the result of the ageing process and are a sign that your soil is continuing to be a healthy environment for a plant to thrive in. These mycelium will not harm your plants in any way.
We thank you for your continued support of FoxFarm products. For further questions regarding our products, please contact us any time.
BEST WISHES AND HAPPY GROWING................joey
