QuestionOn top of the soil in 2 of my potted plants are the weirdest little pods. They are brownish, fuzzy, and about the size of the end of a Q-tip and in clusters. I picked a group up and realized that they have small roots, then i squeezed them. White gel-like stuff oozed out then little black seeds. It was disgusting, almost like a pimple, ugh! What are they, Will they harm my plants and how do get rid of them? Also will the seeds replant themselves? If you still don't know and need a picture I could provide you with one. Please help!
AnswerA picture would be great. Please send to
[email protected] with the subject line of allexperts so it wont get deleted. It sounds like you are describing bird's nest mushrooms. These will have little open tops with 3-4 seeds inside. It is just growing on the organic matter in the potting soil and will not hurt the plants. I will wait on the picture to make sure. Awaiting your response. Thanks.
