They look eatible to me :LOL:
At least they do not look as scary as the "bird nest fungus" that I have on the other thread. I did a google search last night and found that most mushroom like fungus are harmless to plant. Some spieces even form muatual relationship with plants. I guess you have mushroom compost in your potting mix. What brand is it?
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

I recond you have one of the best mix out there. The reason I asked for the brand was because I used Searles potting Mix and it's just best... for fungi :)

They look very harmless to me. Most fungi are beneficial.
