Yellow mushrooms in pot (forum)
2 responses
Db starts with ...
Hi All, recently half of my pots are badly infested by yellow mushrooms (Leucocoprinus Birnbaumii), it could be due to recent lots of rain here and moisture in the air. I have read that they are not harmful to plants but I still would like to get rid of them of possible. Pots seems to be badly affected as mushrooms are even popping out from pot holes from bottom so I guess whole soil is infested. As few of pot holes are blocked, I guess soil drainage is also affected. Changing soil is not an option as I have planted most of these plants just few months back only and I have no plan to replant them in bigger pots..
Is there any way I can get rid of these mushrooms? I'll be giving pots less water for next week, is there anything else I can do?

Move to Alice Springs? ;p
I've had them popping up during the heavy rain events over the summer. They seem to retreat quickly after the rain goes away and dont appear to do any real damage. I'm much more worried by the crusty fungus that forms a layer over the top of pots and can stop seeds from sprouting and water from penetrating.

Hahaha...
Nothing to worry about them then.. What crusty fungus you are talking about BJ, is it again yellow or something else?
