    In some of my pots I've noticed small brown capped mushrooms. I think they're normal - the ones that appear in grass but I'm paranoid it might be something bad like honey fungus. Does anyone else see these?

    No mine are browner and smaller. I've been ripping them out rather than destroying the plants so far.

      I don't suppose they're harmful Jack. This last month or so has been quite damp and warm for this time of year so fungi are coming up everywhere, particularly in lawns.

        A lot of plants grow in symbiosis with mushrooms, and some, like Orchids, can't survive without them.

        They use the mycelium as an internet, transmitting pest attack warnings thru them.

          Not great photos but these are the only mushrooms I can see right now.

          When they first pop up they are more cone shaped and shiny. It seems as they age they flatten out and have ridges down the cap.

            They're the ones Jack. I have them all over my lawns but leave them to die off naturally.
