[wayey] beckshort
you may need to remove most of the soil from the plants and replace it with some new sterile soil.
i'm not too sure what else you can do i had some in one of my house plants and i replaced some of the soil and the "mushrooms" never returned. i hope this helps more than my last sarcastic reply i gave you [Big Grin] [Embarrassed] [grin]

Yep you need to remove the potting soil that has the mushroom spores in it or they will regrow. mushrooms like organic matter and thats potting soil. But don't worry you don't have to lose the potting soil you can bake it and kill the spores and then use it for something else.

[nutz] ya know what i did with mine....
i put the soil outside and they are growing in a nice little patch, for the slugs so they will eat those and hopefully leave my plants alone [thumb]
