White Soild Mold

Hey Guys I Make My Own Soil Mix And It Has Been Sitting In A Huge Ben For About A Week Or So. I Was Planning On Transplanting My Babies Into There New Soil Today But When I Open The Container There Was Mold Growing On Top Of The Soil. I Have Looked At A Couple Different Places On The Net And They Say That The White Mld Is Natural On Top Of Soil If You Use A Lot Of Organic Parts. My Soil Consist Of Continues Feed Potting Soil, Blood Meal, Bone Meal, And Pertalite. I Mixed It Up And I Dont See Any Mold, But I Wanna Make Sure This Will Not Harm My Plants. When I Opened The Bin There Was Some Moisture On The Top Of The Lid. Let Me Know What U Guys Think. Thanks

THIS IS ONE OF THE POST I FOUND ONLINE....


The mold you see, although it may look alarming, is harmless and an indication that the material is rich in plant nutrients. The white fuzzy “mold” is actually from a mycelium fungus which is a naturally occurring beneficial soil fungus that grows in rich organic matter.

Simply place all the soil from the bag in a wheelbarrow or in pile on the ground and stir it up with a rake or shovel. The white fuzzy stuff will mostly vanish from sight. It will not harm your plants- it will actually help feed them. This type of fungus helps break down the good stuff like worm castings, kelp meal, bat guano and chicken manure making these available to plant roots.

The spores of the fungi are present in the compost all the time. This is normal and good. Certain combinations of temperature, moisture, air and organic material can make the fungi grow unusually fast which is apparently what happened to the bag at your house. Not to worry. Simply work the compost into your garden soil as instructed on the package and the plants in your garden will love it.
