HELP I’VE GOT MUSHROOMS! These look like Leucocoprinus birnbaumii to me after trying to identify it online, but I’m not entirely sure. It’s a species that feeds off dead organic matter, so I don’t think it will kill my plants. I’m hesitant as to what to do because I’m not sure if this could be a good thing or a bad thing. In my mind this could be good since fungus and other microbial life will break down organic material in my garden, contributing to soil fertility (as I understand it). In that case I would just leave the mushrooms to continue their symbiotic relationship with my plants. However I’ve read that this mushroom is poisonous and if it get’s it’s spores on my kale, I worry that it may make me sick, even if I thoroughly rinse the leaves off. I’d hate to have to uproot a whole garden bed, despose of the contaminated soil, amd start over. What would any of you advise I do? And I don’t really care if the mushrooms make my garden look ugly, if they can benifit me then they can stay.
