  Hello! So every spring/summer, I grow my own veggies and herbs for my rabbit. This year I got a new type of soil to grow them in (I use containers rather than a garden) and the soil now has little mushrooms growing in it with her vegetables. Do we think it’s still safe to feed the vegetables to my rabbit if I wash them properly? Or should I throw everything out and start with a new soil? Thanks in advance!

  Mushrooms can’t really contaminate vegetables beyond perhaps some spores on the surface. I personally wouldn’t be concerned, especially if the veggies are washed well.

  I agree with LBJ. Mushrooms in garden beds tends to mean the soil is good and healthy. Obv make sure no broken off parts of the mushrooms get served to the buns. Most mushrooms aren’t super toxic, but a cpl years ago I had a gyromitra false morel growing in one of my pallet collar veggie beds, and that’s a *very* poisonous mushroom.
