Oooooo, those pesky mushrooms! We have recently discovered a grouping of mushrooms growing from the root/trunk of some of our small trees. When I went to take a few pics to show where they were growing, my DH had just pulled them out but I have enclosed a couple of pics anyway to show. Some of these are up to about 4" in diameter. I'll do my best to give you all the details so someone can tell me what to do to change the conditions so this doesn't continue. Just over a year ago we created a new small garden. We purchased soil by the yard, but also mixed some "sea soil" in all of the planting holes. The mushrooms are growing at the base of a Trompenburg maple, Albizia Julibrissin (as well as the chocolate variety) and a Phormium. Another detail is that when some of the mushrooms were removed, tiny white worms were eating through the mushrooms. Gasp! There are lots of plants that are in the same garden that appear to not have been affected. Just some are rhododendron, deciduous azalea, black elderberry, Tasmania Tiger euphorbia and perennial poppy. Currently this full sun garden is automatically watered every 2 or 3 days. Does anyone out there have any thoughts they'd like to share? I'm making an assumption that maybe a strong concentration of the sea soil could be the cause but again, I am not sure so I'm asking for your help! I welcome your advice. Thanks.
