I felt sorry for the littler plants that were grown in chemicals and decided to feed them before leaving for a week to see what would happen. This is the fungal mass that grew on the top of the soil. It did not appear to hurt the growth of the plants - but was a complete suprise. This only occurred on soils that had an abundance of high N value and a peat based potting mix. The compost and topsoil soils without high N values did not develop this. (Picture #1)

Its been awfully cold on Long Island and the greenhouse has not been heated. The plants have not been watered in a week. Still, the only loss is from the "varmits" that dig up plants and eat their roots.
