View attachment 95676 Wondering if anybody else has come across this… I am slowly starting to removing the soil around my Elm over rock composition . As I was pulling away soil I noticed a large cluster of mushrooms around the roots… They wedged themselves between the roots and between the roots and the rock . I freaked and remove the mushrooms before I took a picture. I'm wondering if my 60% organic's and 40% aggregate, new soil combination is keeping the soil too moist... But it seems to be drying thoroughly with in three days of watering. Anybody else ever have issues with mushrooms ? WTF!
What exactly are the issues your mushroom are causing? Mushrooms are not necessarily a symptom of something wrong, could well be symbiotic and healthy relationship with the roots. Identifying the shrooms is probably the best way to discover if they are parasitic or beneficial, if they come again, take pics and a spore print, pics of the cap, stem and gills. They may be a difficult to I.D. LBM (little brown mushroom) , but you never know.
Look to the health of the tree and the state of the soil, if all appears well don't worry about your shrooms.
The soil does seem a bit on the retentive side to me, tree looks happy enough from the pic though.
