Hi, I've been adding my spent teabag contents to the surface of one of my containers and noticed some mushrooms popping up.
I was wondering, are they considered good (beneficial), or are they likely to be competing for nutrients (like weeds)?
Thanks
Thanks for the reply.tomc wrote:Mushrooms have a different metabolism. They will neither compete with (or poison) your plants.
As a rule, I pluck them out.
The mushroom in your photo looks to be an inky-cap. I would not eat it.
I wasn't thinking about eating them, but from the images on google, I don't think it looks like an inky-cap. It pretty much looks like that after 12 hours, then dies about 12 hours later.
