Sometimes owners of haciendas are terribly bothered by mushrooms that suddenly grow in the garden or vegetable patch.
As the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained, they have nothing in common with boletus and aspen mushrooms - in most cases we are talking about saprotrophic mushrooms, which are engaged in decomposing dead organic matter.
Often such mushrooms can be seen in areas where straw, sawdust, half-decomposed compost or other plant or animal waste is actively used.
In addition, saprotrophic fungi that feed on dead organic matter can often be seen on the thick main roots of large felled trees.
Now the answer to the most pressing question: these mushrooms are absolutely safe for both humans and the cultivated plants they grow.
Moreover, they are able to cleanse the soil of everything unnecessary, acting as orderlies and thus bringing benefits.
We conclude: if the mushrooms grew in beds where carrots or any other vegetable grow, you can safely eat the produce collected from your garden.
If mushrooms are an irritant for you, you can easily get rid of them by populating the soil with Trichoderma.
