Fungi can offer advantages to many different types of plants, cannabis included. This is because they form something known as a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. This type of relationship benefits both the plants and the fungus. Fungi have no chlorophyll and are unable to photosynthesize in the same way that plants do. Therefore, they must get their nutrients in another way. Their solution is to bind to the roots of plants and feed off the carbohydrates and amino acids that they produce. In return, they improve the plant’s ability to take up water and nutrients from the soil. It’s a win-win situation. Furthermore, fungi can help to suppress diseases in the soil and increase plants’ resilience to harsh conditions like droughts. Marijuana cultivators are now beginning to take advantage of this partnership to enhance the health of their crops. Many people intentionally introduce a specific type of fungus known as mycorrhizae to their gardens. Mycorrhizae naturally improve the health of cannabis plants and could even increase their overall yield. They also reduce susceptibility to pests and environmental stressors. It is possible to purchase commercial mycorrhizal supplements and add them to your soil in order to benefit. However, although mushrooms in your marijuana patch are generally desirable, there are also some drawbacks to consider. The problem with mushrooms is that some of them can be dangerous. While many species are edible, others can cause extreme sickness, hallucinations, and even death. And, unless you are an expert, you are unlikely to know which is which. Therefore, it may be wise to remove any mushrooms that grow around your cannabis. However, the mycelium will still be active, so there’s a chance they could return. You will need to keep a close eye on your soil and remove any new mushrooms as they appear. Additionally, there is one type of fungus that you will definitely want to keep away from your marijuana: Mold.
