Azgarden said:Found this in a raised bed yesterday. Hope the picture shows it well enough to identify. A couple of weeks ago a few large white mushrooms showed up overnight in the same bed but in a different location. It is in a bed where peppers, sage, chives and basil are growing. I am thinking the source was "bad" potting soil. Don't want to lose my plants and know I should probably just dig as much of this bad stuff out as I can without disturbing plant roots and replace with good soil. However, I would like to treat the area with something that won't effect the edibles in the garden. I found a patch of it in late summer in a raised bed that has ornamentals and dug it out. The soil was the same brand. I will NEVER buy that again. Perplexing. Any help is appreciated.

I'm not an expert on fungi at all, but those look like artillery fungus to me! They can be nasty little things if so. The spores they shoot out can stick and be impossible to clean off of siding, etc... or so I've heard.
