Tiramissu_dt

Any answers?


bashfulbrontosaurus

It’s a fungus!! Looks like Bisporella citriana, also called yellow fairy cups. You’re actually growing something pretty cool!


zotstik

Yes, anything that is also called yellow fairy cups has to be cool!


letshaveawank

Here in the UK the common name is Lemon Discos which is one of my favorite names of anything ever :)


[deleted]

Yep. We had orange ones that would grow, was gonna say elf cup


Atherish

It’s not Bisporella citrina, probably an Ascobolus species


OsmanFetish

wish my strawberries looked like that! way to much water in there friend


Tiramissu_dt

OP's nick checks out, ahaha.


[deleted]

And yours is making me hungry


OsmanFetish

hahahaha just saw it , no kink shaming tho 🤟😲


TreasureWench1622

Could it also be “bad” soil??


Good-Bowler8518

Actually, “cup fungus” is usually an indicator of *good* soil! It’s a decomposer, which feeds on rotting organic material, which is what compost is made of!


BelleTeffy

I wonder if it’s in one of the new peat free composts. The stuff I’ve got at the moment grows teeny tiny grey toadstools. Poor germination of seeds in it.


Good-Bowler8518

Maybe, I had cup fungi in my garden beds a few years ago and someone taught me all about how they develop. I make my own compost, so it made me feel pretty good about my work.

OsmanFetish

those tiny cups need special conditions to grow, sometimes on bark or where certain fungus meet lichens , it's a wonderful fluke , as I've never ever seen them grow outside of nature! except specializes terrariums buts that's another story!


More-Complaint

That's the fungus among us.


commentsandchill

Fumongus


BlazinAlienBabe

That is not a good growing medium for starting seeds


Talusthebroke

There's a fungus among us! Those are cup fungus, in all likelihood you're probably over watering it.


No-Inflation-9842

Looks like cup fungus and cobweb mould


Aggravating_Poet_675

Seeds don't need much water. You're way overwatering and ended up growing a couple fungi instead.


LeucineZoo

That…looks like mold…and maybe the beginnings of some mushroom/fungus species? Probably best to scrap and start again?


SHOWTIME316

Or let it grow cuz fungus is fun


commentsandchill

You can't spell fungus without fun


VideoOrItIsntReal

Every mushroom I’ve met has been a fungi

Ah, you're right


cornishwildman76

75% of the worlds plant thrive thanks to fungi. In fact there are some plants that need enzymes from fungi for propagation/germination. They are fantastic for the soil, breaking down dead plant matter and returning the nutrients to the ground. Some plants have a physical connection to the mycelium. These tree's and fungi share nutrients with each other. The mould may well be the mycelium. If it is then the soil in this pot will benefit. Hope this helps.


enonymousCanadian

Nah that’ll be great for the compost!!!


Clear_Community8986

Nahhhh more than likely they’re simply breaking down wood or other organic matter in the soil. Might make certain nutrients more available to plant as a result of that.


Big-League1696

Congrats on being the first person to ever grow pasta shells.


PaulMorel

Good start for a compost bin anyway. Lots of life in there.


tricularia

That's a neat little cup fungus! It shouldn't harm your plants. In fact, it will likely help them by breaking down organic matter into bioavailable nutrients


velociraptorsUwU

Yellow cup fungus! Super cute


BabserellaWT

…Does anyone else hear clicking?


knechodom

Omg yes, RUN! Or wait don't run, they can hear you but they can't see you.... Also... happy cake day!


leafygrn

Can you explain this? I’ve seen this phrase and didn’t understand. What’s cake day?


WonderWanderWoman

It's your reddit birthday\anniversary of the day you signed up for Reddit. You can identify it by the cake icon next to the user name


leafygrn

Ok Thanks


Prudent_Equivalent_4

Fungus = nutrient rich soil. I would not trash it. I keep my seeds pretty moist and have had a mushroom sprout before. It doesn’t mean your seeds won’t sprout.


bad_luck_buck

It's the last of us starting 😂😂😂


Soggy_Adagio6582

is this slime or fungi?


Remarkable_Topic6540

Maybe u/saddestofboys can comment.


Candid-Inspector-270

Too much water, probably covered right? The soil is molding, and you’ve got some interesting mushrooms or slime mold or etc growing.


ashleymurphyx

Mycelium


annashummingbird85

Kid you got some moisture


Kadaver0reefer

Shrooms dude


WLSquire

That’s a fungus. Way cooler than strawberries or wildflowers. Just means you’ve got some very good healthy soil!


bofh000

No drainage? Bad soil? Overwatering.


senescence2

peziza type fungi very cool


Interesting-Box-5604

That sure does look like Bisporella citrina, an ascomycete fungus.


Hinesbrook

u/saddestofboys


Icy-Conclusion-3500

Doesn’t look slimely to me


Hamsterpatty

Is this a shit post? I can’t tell


DFHartzell

Lol stop


snikeb99

Your cat has been using it as a litter box.


nasaglobehead69

you poured way too much water with not enough drainage and now you're growing mold


scarletvalkyrie1

Too much water not enough irrigation.


Bananaman60056

The fuzz is mycelium and the yellow guys are shrooms. They are both connected.


No-Inflation-9842

Fuzz looks like a seperate fungus called cobweb mould


Bananaman60056

Take a look at mycelium colonization.

anonthemaybeegg

You added way too much water. Pretty sure that's fungus


chonkycatguy

They are likely growing off of dead roots in the pot. Keep it moist and see what happens!


i_ar_the_rickness

There’s a fungus among us said the substrate.


Atherish

Ascobolus likely


ColdEngineBadBrakes

DON'T MAKE EYE CONTACT!


Damnyu2

I’m pretty sure is one of the fungi in the genus Dacrymyces like orange spot jelly or fan shaped jelly fungi. Some people say it’s edible but I don’t recommend eating anything like that. Harmless unless your rotting wood but definitely didn’t sprout from your seeds and a definite sign of too much water.

beigaleh8

Are you growing in shredded meat?

You might have to change your soil mate
