Help I am new to the raised garden bed life. I recently started a garden bed and sourced wood from around my neighborhood. I am worried it is introducing mushrooms and other fungi into my garden bed ( filled with veggies, herbs and edible flowers) . Is this a problem? And if so how do I fix it? Specifically the tan net looking one.

Fungi in the soil is actually extremely beneficial to the plants that grow in it. Read up on the mycorrhizal network for the sciencey specifics.

This is a good thing, I would mix this in thoroughly 😄 life sprouting out of your soil when growing is a great sign! Happy Planting.
