    I am experimenting and are sowing the same seeds in different ways. For instance, butternut squash direct into a large container, into plastic modules and into toilet roll tubes that can be planted as well. Below I a picture of some weird looking stiff on my loo roll butternut squash. What is it?

    Thanks.

        Fungus isn't good? Do I need to scrap the seedling, they are quite well established or can I continue with them, but not plant the toilet roll tube? If it isn't slug its something else.

        I used to start Parsnips using toilet roll cores, and quite often they (the cores) would get mould or fungus. Nothing to worry about.

        I think it's some sort of peziza cup fungus, nothing to worry about.
