unwanted mushrooms in the weed pots

[Opie Yutts]

This has never happened to me before and I don't really know if it's a problem. After a certain mother has been growing for at least a year in a closet, shrooms started appearing. Is this bad? Is it an emergency? Do I need to transplant or flush like crazy, or can I just pick them out as they appear? How in the world do they show up a year after planting when they are in a closet? The only thing I can think of is I somehow carried some spores into the closet, but that doesn't make sense because if that were true they would be in my other mothers too.

Also, does anyone know what kind of shrooms they are? Can they be consumed for food or recreation? Notice the babies look exactly like little penises. I know most shrooms are deadly so I will probably destroy them and wash my hands very carefully, but I was curious if someone knew about them, as well as if they are a problem in weed soil.

I would not consider them a problem, just remove them so that they do not have a chance to decay and attract insects.
I also would not eat them. There's exactly ONE species I am confident ID-ing, and that's the Chanterelle- an OBVIOUS one with no poisonous mimics. That is not a Chanterelle, lol.
Nice pics though.

they plant isnt looking too healthy can we see a pic of it?

if you have conditions to grow shrooms, your soil is always too wet & too much humidity

if your indoors increase the airflow,water less frequently

Yes, and thank you for your concern. I would appreciate any input. I just posted about that plant here: http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-problems/134293-magnesium-mg-deficiency-pics.html

Duh, why didn't I think of that. I have been trying to see how long I could get away with no fan in my mother's closet. Guess I'll slap a small fan in there after all.

A general rule of thumb when it comes to the mushrooms....unless you are an expert with mushrooms and your find it in soil or in your yard, leave it or kill it.... i personally dont do mushrooms unless i get them at the store, there are so many varities out there that could kill you that its not worth the risk... just my opinion tho.

Get a better picture of that shroom if you can I think I recognise it.
I've heard you can use dilluted hydrogen peroxide to get rid of fungai.

"Helps Plants
It is this hydrogen peroxide in rainwater that makes it so much more effective than tap water when given to plants. With the increased levels of atmospheric pollution, however, greater amounts of H202 react with air-borne toxins and never reach the ground. To compensate for this, many farmers have been increasing crop yields by spraying them with diluted hydrogen peroxide (5 to 16 ounces of 35% mixed with 20 gallons of water per acre). You can achieve the same beneficial effect with your house plants by adding 1 ounce of 3% hydrogen peroxide (or 16 drops of 35% solution) to every quart of water you give your plants. (It can also be made into an excellent safe insecticide. Simply spray your plants with 8 ounces of 3% peroxide mixed with 8 ounces of white sugar and one gallon of water.)"

Thanks everyone for the advice.

I will pick out the shrooms and throw them into the trash. I will also put a fan in with the mothers and see if that solves the problem. I will spray the infected plant and immeadiate area with a H202 solution.

I threw my used soil into a pile outside ... a few months later, I started shoveling it up, to get rid of it ... there was the weirdest looking fungus, looked like the 'mushroom from Mars', lol ... it was about 2-feet across, and WEIRD, man ... :wtf:

Holy crap! Never heard of such a thing. Sounds like something from the original star trek.

Unfortunately, no.
