Overnight in both of my raised gardens, mushrooms have shot up! help!

remove them and forget.. they came from spores deposited on decaying wood...just remove w/hoe, discard and enjoy the garden..DO NOT SAMPLE, no matter what anyone tells you, we called them toad stools when I was a kid and the garden was loaded w/them. the decaying wood they're growing from is good for your soil...

Hi David, Here's a video that may help! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TJc78VyQU8

Good luck!

Pluck them out and dispose. Not a big deal. Be watchful, as obviously you have has a lot of rain, let things dry out a bit if possible.

Thanks, Yes, we have had rain

We think of fungus as completely bad. Nothing could be further from the truth. Absolutely, black mold, mildew--no bueno in any home surface. Like bad bacteria, bad fungus is a tiny number of species compared to good species.

All plant life exists in symbiosis with soil fungus. If you have, let's say, an unhealthy maple tree, and you can't figure out why, chances are good that the fungus community of its soil is degraded. The opposite is also true: if you have healthy rose bushes, supporting soil fungus is probably also thriving.

Healthy fungus makes healthy plants--all plants, including trees, flowers, and food crops. Consider your mushrooms an indicator of good garden health.

Unlike the woman in the post, I would not spray any chemical that degrades soil bacteria or soil fungus; you'll kill stuff your garden needs.

Also, mushroom spores are stimulated to grow when soil is disturbed. One summer, I pulled up a bunch of Virginia creeper that had really gone a little nuts in my backyard (plenty left-just thinned it a bit). About two weeks later, I got a crop of the strangest, biggest mushrooms I've ever seen in my life. I've not seen them before or since, anywhere, ever.

So, the fact that you probably turned the soil in your raised beds contributed to the mushroom crop. I would not worry about them at all. If you want to remove them, though, I advise rubber gloves!
