Harmful mold/rot/fungus on degrading old plant matter?
Flex1started grow question 3y ago
Mold/fungus? Harmful? Haven't seen something like this in my living soil and I suspect it could be from high moister or humidity level. Its only seen on old dead cover crop.

Not harmful at all, actually beneficial for your soil biology.

I wouldn't worry about this... not at all... if it's just the old, dead cover crop, it's naturally decomposing...
Good luck!

Update: seems fungus related not mold. Not certain it's harmful rather just part of living soil.

Mold/fungi or am I paranoidI have never seen all these white strands when looking at the trichomes so I was just wondering if this could be any time of mold of fungus? It doesn’t seem like it when looking at it but I have never had buds this dense and close together so just wanted to be safe.Week 10

Help, what are those weird yellow spots in late veg?Hello everybody, I've checked in on my plant after I was away from home for 2 day. Now I come back to see these ugly yellow spots? During day 23°C / 55% humid. During night 18°C / 50% humid.
Checked the whole bud, but no insects. My other ideas are mold or stress from the light?Leaves. Color - Yellow

Mold and Harvest timeHey bros, take a look at the last Day 102 pics, mold... what do you think? Does not smell like it, comes from outside. Looks like a bunch of white pistils together. I've cut one of to examine further with the mic. I will update the pics later. Oh, and also, one more week to go?6y ago

Mouldy, webbed budsThe humidity was too high when I went away and now my buds are mouldy. Obviously I’m heart broken (mainly at my own stupidity because I should know better!) and I wondered if there was anything I can do to recover some of the crop. Can I wash? spray? Dry out…basically anything?!?Buds. Other
