A bunch of mushrooms keep growing in my mulched garden bed where me dhalia’s are, I’ve been knocking them down but they keep growing, what can I do to stop them without hurting my flowers?

The spores are most likely in the mulch and there’s nothing you can do except allow the mulch to dry out well. Mushrooms won’t harm healthy plants and are actually a good sign of beneficial microbes in your soil

Oh and knocking them down causes more spores to drop

Oh okay! Thank you! Would you just leave them, or should I pull them up?

They won’t hurt anything they’re just breaking down the mulch. But if it was a vegetable garden I’d say pull them out.
