Fungus around my Artichokes

Question

I have recently planted several artichoke plants and have noticed that the ground around the plants is moldy looking. What’s going on, and how do I protect my plants from damage? I planted them where it is sunny and they seem happy, but the fungus looks harmful.

Answer 1

It might be harmless, but if you are worried about it, you can just treat the area with an organic fungicide like neem oil. That will help clear it up.
