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.

Mashrooms and Plants HeightIs the height of the plants too much? They seems too high and weak.
As you can see in the pictures I have to remove mashrooms every day, I reduced humidity value down to 55% and I keep open the room window and closet door to ensure air recirculation. Is it so bad?4y ago

Fungi in floweringFound fungus on a girl's leaf. my first actions were to carefully remove the leaves that were contaminated and the excess leaves to improve ventilation. I also washed the Grown with disinfectant. What should I do next? It's 4 weeks to harvest, should I anticipate it to avoidWeek 10
