Hey! I know I'm a fun guy,but do you think theres room in the kin cave for more then 1 fungi.I'm seeing a lot of tan colored mushrooms about the size of baseballs flat round heads.Should I leave them or pull them?

Mushrooms and other fungi play a role in the development of new biological remediation techniques (e.g., using mycorrhizae to spur plant growth) and filtration technologies (e.g. using fungi to lower bacterial levels in contaminated water). The US Patent and Trademark Office can be searched for patents related to the latest developments in mycoremediation and mycofiltration.

Mushrooms are a good indication of OM..organic material, thats a plus I would leave them to break down in the soil and like you stated they are somewhat of a filtration system for the microbs to fester in and thats a good thing...on the flip side they do attract mice and other critters such as skunks and opossums. now if you find some purple ones under yer cow patties...well I wouldn't go thinkin yer superman or somthin, lol.

Thx Guys! I was just wondering if there was anything bad they could do to my 1161 plant.I'm down to one kin,so just wanting to play it safe.I cant do the purple mushrooms,even in my party days I passed them buy.I'm high on life in general.I dont need any stimulation.I drank a energy drink a few years back at the bowling alley.I bowled like crap kept throwing the ball in the gutter.Like putting gasoline on a fire.LOL Does anyone else have any negative feed about shrooms??I dont want to be left in the dark.lol btw I dont have critters in the kin cave,they cant get in,theres garden veggies outside to eat,so they wont dig,when theres a easy meal outside.I have an army of cats,my neighbor forgot to neuter,they run around here like rabbits,there ain't a mouse for a 1/4 mile.The only magic around here is when if I pull a 230 pd melon out my hat in a few weeks.lolol

mushrooms to me always indicated excess moisture in the soil plus of course om breaking down.it may be to wet in that kin closure?

Thx pap! I hate to change up now,I do find dry areas as I have tape spaced 2 feet apart with 12 inch emitters.I curved the tape away from the stumps to ensure no stump diseases.It's worked great my stumps are looking good.So around the stumps tape is like 3 feet apart.I may back off a pinch on the water.The plant is getting 60 gallons a day on 500 sg feet .It also is feeding on 60 gallons I drip behind the plant on about 500 sg feet, where there used to be 1723 plant I removed.I also water the outside perimeter of the kin cave out about 6 feet for the extended roots outside the cave.Plus I'm sure the roots are growing under the melon cave(only 4 feet apart) & sharing there water.Does this sound like a lot of water??

Your right Pap, the mushrooms are all growing on the drip tape I posted a photo on diary.I will back off a pinch.Dont dare make any radical changes.Still growing(kin) good.
