Is there a way you can post spore print info and a proper description?
The color also looks hard to tell in that first picture, the second picture also doesn't show too much! Coprinus seems likely to be found in potted plants though.
I seem to remember reading about how to eliminate it - if it even is a coprinus that is, in the contamination forum FAQ (i think?).

Yes,you are right.I checked the FAQ and what i have matches with Coprinus.But how will i get rid of them? I cannot stop/reduce the nitrogen source because i need it for the plants.Is there any other solution?

From the FAQ:
Inky Cap ? Coprinus spp.
These are evidence of free ammonia in the compost. Ammonia seems to be a nitrogen source. Their delicate gray caps autodigest quickly. Inky caps are indicators of nitrogen oversupplementation or a poorly managed Phase II compost. If there is too much residual ammonia, Phase II thermophilic microflora may be unable to convert all the ammonia into microbial protein. In addition, areas in the compost that did not remain within the range of 115 to 135 F from 72 to 96 hours after pasteurization may contain residual ammonia. This fungus is strongly cellulolytic.

Interesting question. Since the plant is for human consumption, I think that using chemicals or something of that nature (in attempt to remove the coprinus) would be unsafe. I don't really know for sure if there is a reasonable way to remove it without doing some kind of damage to the plant or contaminating it. A brief search didn't come up with much of anything - although I did see it mentioned on a few gardening sites (which none gave any solutions). The potted plants that I've had them grow in were just ornamental, so I didn't really try to do anything about it. None of my plants were harmed by it, as far as I know. Maybe you could also get some suggestions in the ethno garden forum, where people with a lot of experience with gardening post. I wish that I could be or more help, but in all the years of being involved in mushrooms, I've never tried to get rid of them

One thing to keep in mind is that it is unlikely that the little mushies are having much of an effect on the plants you are growing. They are not a parasitic species. The only real problem is they are competing with your plant for resources in the soil. As long as your plants are OK, I wouldn't worry about it.

You guys were of a big help.The truth is they don't give me any problem.I was just wondering if they could.What i did now was to clean the soil surface from anything weird and dry.I might minimize the phenomenon like that. Thanks again for your immediate responds.
