I just went to water my plants and um, what?



Anybody know anything about mushrooms?

I get mushrooms in some of my potted plants I keep in our glass solarium and some of them look like that. Usually, they shrivel up into grown husks, often within a day or two of growing. I've never worried about them, and my cats have never bothered them. I recognize that this is merely anecdotal evidence, however, so probably not helpful. ;-)

I think I've figured out what it is.

Fascinating! (For me, also the name, as it's German in origin - birnbaum = pear tree ^^ - it has the colour of one of our most typical pear varieties, perhaps for that reason)

Thank you! That's exactly how mine appear as well. I'll make a point of digging them out and disposing of them next time they appear in my greenhouse pots!
