Random question, I bought a bag of potting soil from a garden center, not a big box store and I used it to plant a bunch of little 4" pots as well as a few larger pots and after about a week or two, they all have shrooms growing out of the soil like crazy. I tried to pull all of them out by the roots but I don't know if that will help. Will the shrooms kill the plants? I would repot the plants but frankly I don't want to since it is alot.

No worries. Mushrooms feed on decaying organic matter, not live stuff.

Mushrooms = fungi = too wet soil = not enough aeration.

Ok cool, thanks. Ironically a few days have been 90-95 degrees and then all of the sudden, the temp drops 30 degrees, high humidity, really damp and drizzling. So, I will let them dry out. Thanks again.
