Bought top soil from an Arborist Comapny

IIRC, where ever you are on the planet no matter what time of the year every breathe you take will contain honey fungus spores.

 

I could be completely wrong though.

 

So then, anyone identified the fungi?

If they are growing in the veg patch they must be edible.

 

Could be sainsburys organics

Yeah wrap them in cling film, could prob ident them then.

It would be great if they could be identified, just so I know if I can pull them out with my hands without getting some sort of skin disease.

 

Thanks again in advance

The fungi are breaking down the wood in the soil, they will come up every year untill their food supply is exhausted, burying the chip will make little difference.

I'd get them identified if you can, most of the guys on here can only confidently identify fungi which are harmfull to trees, the ones you have are probably not harmful to your veg or to you, just wash your veg and your hands before eating.

Why not get a fungi kit and grow edible mushrooms? Shitake and oyster can be bought as plugs or inocculated straw.

I don't imagine them to be particularly toxic but you could wear gloves when pulling

[Khriss]

You bought this ?

Sounds like you were lucky with that "topsoil".

I know a farmer on heavy clay who goes round his fields shovelling up the molehills & flogs it as topsoil.

Nice & crumbley, fine grained, looks great, but once it get wet & dries out it sets like concrete !
