    Hi all

    Was weeding my polytunnel crops today (toms, peppers, etc) and have noticed a couple of mushrooms poking out of the soil in various places in the poly - I'm wondering whether this is normal, or indicative of a problem, and whether I should remove the mushrooms or leave them be. Are they damaging to crops or beneficial?

    What would people suggest?? :cnfs:

    I guessing you applied horse/stable manure, its quite common to get mushrooms from that. I would not worry about them.
