These mushrooms popped up in my garden bed. There was a tomato plant in there that had a little problem than started spreading to my other plants which I removed in the past week and a half, but I still have bell pepper jalapeño and oregano that are pretty established the oregano I’m pulling out, but the peppers I’m leaving as they’re striving. What should I do?
Nothing. The mushrooms are not harmful to your plants. They're a sign of healthy soil. You're oregano looks fine why must you pull it out! Make spaghetti! You can remove the mushrooms if you don't like them there but don't eat them and wash your hands when you're done.

I’ve always heard mushrooms in your plants are a good sign! It means they’re healthy and happy! I’ve had a couple of plants sprout mushrooms! If you don’t want them, (which, especially in food, I’m assuming no one would) you can just remove them and scoop them out with a spoon! (I have a reserved plastic spoon for reasons similar to this, lmao)
0 likes Ok. Just wasn’t sure about these mushrooms as not all are good. I removed the other plants mainly because there was no room for them and the tomato plant had an issue and wherever it touched seemed to be infected. This was my first bed I started about a month ago as a test to see if I can keep anything alive and flourish. I’ve since added a bed for peppers, one for collards, one for broccoli, 1 for lettuce a large bed with a variety of brassicas and other trees and plants in grow bags. Everything seems to be doing good.
