HELP!! Disgusting yellow looking shrooms/spores growing in my soil

[atomic]

Just checked on my babies today, and was shocked to find these f***ers showing up in my soil. I only used brand new atami grow/jericho soil and some plant magic granules when re-potting. I don't have any ventillation (only a fan) since I'm growing inside my storage room, but I did grow before there with no problems. So WTF?

I have six plants in 6 different containers 1 of which has this huge spore, 2 has some yellow dots around the soil bed, and the rest have nothing- yet. Temps @ 30 celsius.. Humidity 40-60percent.

God they look gross. Just looking at them makes me want to hurl. Nothing like bud porn.

Any suggestions?

Hi Atomic- Nice 'shroom, man! LOL! ... Very likely, the soil has been contaminated with the mushroom's mycelia before packing it up, and now that it's getting nice temps and food, it formed the fruiting body of a mushroom,.... spores are like dust too, so it could have just plain landed in there by sheer dumb luck,... It is an unwelcome squatter, eating nutes and competing with the plants roots, so pull it out gently, poke around just below the soil for others, and then try hitting the soil with pure neem oil, which has anti-fungal properties...

Definitely not something you want to ingest! LOL That one might not trip you out or taste good, but kill you.

Cheers for the advice. After looking around some gardening forums, I actually found out its a fungi called Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. Really common in houseplants. Apparently its a sign I have some real good organic shit in my soil, which it feeds on.
Supposedly harmless, but still butt-ugly to look at. I guess its just mother nature's way of being a douchebag.
BTW about that neem oil, do I just chug it down the soil, or do I have to mix it with water first, or should I just spread a little on top?

Also does anyone know how to exterminate these things completely out of my "storage" room. I don't want a yellow shroom invasion everytime I grow. I have some hydrogen peroxide but for hydroponics (I've got soil), would that help?

Dude, I wouldn't feed that shit to my dog. And my dog died 10 years ago.

I had that once some years ago.frigin weird aint it!?LOL I use BioNeen Pro which is a lil different that regular Neem oil,but unless it say ready to use,it all should be mixed and diluted some.But when I had it I looked into it and when it starts to degrade n die off it'll be a beacon to all kinds of pests.I used a fork dug under it about an inch n popped it up.Also,put down some plastic or paper or something cuz when you move it or bounce it around,spores will fall into the soil.you can spray under it with water which'll help a lil.That's my take on it man.hope that gives ya some food for thought.I never had an issue after that or even during but mine was a lot bigger in a 20 gallon can when I was outdoors.Rouge pollen is always around.LOL!A safer fungicide works really well as a top coating for your soil too.


edit: if you ever go shroomin like I did in FL for yrs from grain fed cows,flick the tops of the shrooms an come back the next night if weather is good and you'll have twice as many.I made a killing when I was younger.LOL
