Found this growing in my pineapple ghost seedling tray. Is this little baby wiener good or bad? Lol

    No you shouldn’t be concerned, but it may indicate the soil isnt drying out between waterings. Seedlings dont need a humidity dome once the seeds have got going.

    The only advantage to a dome afterwards is that you dont need to water as often, but you risk poor airflow which can lead to mold (and mushies, which are fine)

    Your soil is moist and contains enough organic compounds to support life, so you should be glad. It’s good, but watch how long your soil stays wet (it’s probably too wet for too long). Usually the sunlight would disallow mushrooms. You can just pick it off; your peppers are fine. Stir your dirt a bit, get some airflow in there, and maybe reconsider what soil mix you’re using, if necessary.

    I’d suggest not using non-treated/unsealed wood as stakes, though. Paint them, use plastic stakes or whatever – rotting wood will keep giving you mushrooms and apparently decaying wood sucks nitrogen from the soil. What I’m saying is really low on the list of what’s important, though. And low impact. You have what you have and it’s 100% fine either way.

    Enjoy your little buddy there; he probably won’t last very long

    Looks like a beech mushroom (shimeji), but I only know the mushrooms you can buy at the store
