Hi all
This is my first post so forgive me if this is common knowledge to the organic crowd, I haven't researched this topic.
I just wanted to get some opinions.
I have seen this surface fungus growing on my indoor plants where I'm using bone and blood meal as a topical amendment to promix
I use other amendments I am just assuming it's either the blood or bone meal that's causing this, am not really sure which.
Next potting I'll remember to make a test plant of one each with ot without to see
In the photos you can see some of the growth, the plants don't seem affected and the growth usually goes away after a couple waterings and forms a denser green fungus like in the last photo that also doesn't seem to negatively affect any plants. I've only used this top amendment technique for a few cycles and because it's not an issues I haven't really taken time to investigate the pro/con relationship of this kind of fungus. I'm assuming hopefully it's a good thing to have happen to create a more living soil situation.
I plan to move towards a cover mulch like rice husk but haven't sourced them yet which may or may not stop this or at least hide it from me. I also add bone and blood meal to the soil mix itself so this must be happening within the soil to some extent I assume.
Anyone with time and an opinion is welcome to chime in on this.
Happy farming. 👍🏼
