Is this mycorrhizae?
Yesterday I found a fungus growing on 80% of my plants. I think it’s mycorrhizae but I don’t have the experience to be 100% sure. Debating whether to rush ahead and harvest or let the fungus do its ’s thing (only if it’s mycorrhizae). Can someone pls help me identify it from these photos? Please and thanks!

Looks like mycelium to me. Are you using organic/living soils? That what I grow in and right now my pots are full of it. It’s a good thing nothing to worry about. Matter of fact some people will collect it from outside from old but real good soil and bring it back to their plants to grow in their soil. Look up Mycelium. Happens when you keep your soil moist and don’t let it dry out that what we look for in living soils.Comment

Assuming it is mycelium, it seems to be helping to break down the dead leaves which is one of the reasons organic farmers prize that stuff.Coconut Grove

I saw a YT video a few days ago where they showed fungi similar to what you have in your photos and they were saying that people remove it not knowing that it's a good thing for the plant, look at minute 2:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeLAvR4MZAQ&t=173sComment

It’s all good here is a pic of mine. It’s growing on top of my worm castings and the malted barley. All the enzymes plus that will break down the organic matter in my pots making nutrients available to my plants.Attached FilesComment

Awesome thanks to all of you. So yes I do use living soil. It’s a mix of compost, worm castings and coconut fiber. All organic. I wasn’t aware of mycorrhizae so did some research and thought that’s what it was. Super mega appreciate your responses. I was about to toss a few all stars to save the rest as I thought at first it was toxic. I did dig one up to repot it and the roots were extensive and stringy just like the photos I found. And yes I do keep the soil moist. And it’s indoors on 12/12 now so this is killer news.
You guys are awesome thanks a ton. If y’all were here I’d give you each a bubba K. 🙏🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽Comment
