Tiny Mushrooms Mixed With My Garlic

Question

I’m growing garlic and I use large grow bags. I have 3 of them with the same dirt but one of them has these little mushrooms popping up. I pull them out but wondering if it’s doing damage or poisoning the garlic🤷‍♀️ Please advise. Thank you for your time and expertise😊

Answer 1

The presence of mushrooms could indicate too much moisture in the bag. Fungi generally are helpful in garden soil. Removing them is fine, they don't move in soil (except by growing) and won't harm the garlic. Just be sure you get all the pieces out and they are not consumed.
