Can I eat herbs which had a stray unknown mushroom growing with them?!
Answers: I have a natural herbs planter kit that I bought from a local gardener nursery. I thought it would be fun to grow some of my own spices and herbs. The problem is there are some little mushrooms growing in the planter as well. I'm not going to eat the mushrooms, and I have removed them. My question is whether my herbs are safe to eat now that mushrooms were growing along with them in the same soil. The experts at the local gardener nursery have no idea. They are willing to refund me, but I'd really like to just eat the herbs. Does anyone have suggestions?
Your herbs are fine to eat. If the mushrooms are poisonous they don't change the inside content or nature of the other plants. Just wash the outside for your own peace of mind. Mushroom strays typically happens from time to time with gardens, whether they be inside or outside. Often farmers do not even notice them. Enjoy your herbs.
