So went in the room today and bam! a damn mushroom is growing out of my pot. I am well aware that this is fucked because telling the difference between hyphae and roots is almost impossible. So first off never use that soil again...obvious. I am definately going to continue on and need to treat this immediately or not at all since i am four weeks into flower. Anyone ever seen this issue before.

Also have a pH issue hence the yellow leaves. Which I am trying to deal with. Last water was with only water at 6.5 pH. My soil pH is constantly at 7 and yet to go down. And I am preparing to test my runoff with next water.

I am by no means an expert, but in my opinion I would leave it. I'm pretty sure there isn't any negative effects as to having a mushroom grow in your stuff. In fact, it can have quite a positive effect.
There is a relationship referred to as Mycorrizhal between plants and fungi. Those "damn" hyphae could actually be quite beneficial to your lovely lady. When the hyphae tangles into the root system, the two "roots" form together, so it's like the pot just gained extra roots. The fungi takes close to nothing from the plant but gives back extra nutrients that normal plant roots cannot break apart. This is just my two cents though.:bigjoint:

That mushroom doesn't look like any active mushroom Ive seen. I wouldn't recommend eating it without a proper ID. Even if you pick the mushroom, the mycelium will still be alive.. and might even grow another flush of mushrooms.

dude, its not the soil thats the problem... the soil is rich in nutrients thats the only way they grow.. u need to get some airflow to the lower sections of ur room

definitely did not eat the mushroom. I just removed the mushroom its self and any mycelium i could find in the immediate area. If its pathogenic i got out all I could with out harming my yield in the end and if its beneficial removing the reproductive part will not harm the fungi as a whole

i had the same thing on my grow a couple of weeks back a few days after the plants got put into flower, jus pulled it out and an havent had any thing since, i did get told tho that mushrooms only need something like 0.25mm of root/plant material/watever u wanna call it in the soil an it can grow from there so its quite possible a tiny little fragment got into the soil at some point, nothing to worry bout tho apparently

I've had mushrooms grow from rapid rooters. The hydrostore said, "you'll get that with organic rapid rooters", I just picked them off...no harm, no foul.

well thanks guys, appreciate all the help...but threw out the mushroom so there will definitely be no eating it.

Thank god you've got a bit of sense...And so long as your mushroom problem doesn't persist and the plant seems alright, there should be nothing to worry about. Try to provide some moving air around the lower half of your grow room, if you already haven't figured something out for that.

Almost forgot, you do not need to drive yourself bonkers trying to tweek the PH constantly. Cannabis is very PH tolerant plant, meaning it can thrive in a wide range of PH levels as low as 5 and almost as high as 8. If you're growing in soil adjusting the PH is not nearly as crucial as in a Hydro system.

Some companies use manures in their soil that can carry spores just like mulch etc. - Nothing to worry about just remove them if you find them...no harm no foul.
