Mushrooms in my soil
This year we used mushroom compost with our planting soil and there are lots of small mushrooms that come up every morning that I keep having to pluck out of the ground. Can you tell me is this soil no good or do we need to just leave the mushrooms in with the veggies? Are they not good to keep in the soil and we need to continue to remove them as they appear? Please advise, thank you kindly…

No worries. The mushrooms will not harm the veggies, but it is a sign that your soil is very moist. You may want to add some sand to help the soil drain.
Keep growing,
