Ok.
So I have a houseplant, in a pot of soil
Unknown mushrooms are poppin up out of it, very fast. I pull them, I scuff the soil, I try to rip em out, (I don't want their spores being spread), but they keep comin back.
I was wondering how to exterminate them without hurting the house plant.

Thats pretty amazing, not sure if it will hurt the plant, i would just keep pulling them as they pop up, the mycelium will die when it gets old, as long as the shrooms are picked before the veils break then they wont drop any spores.
Any pics?

Leave the mushrooms alone for crying out loud. Fungus in the soil is beneficial to plants. RR

is it this ons??? http://www.mushroomexpert.com/leucocoprinus_birnbaumii.html "...it has a tendency to pop up unexpectedly in people's flower pots--even indoors!
Leucocoprinus birnbaumii won't hurt you, unless you eat it. It won't hurt your plant. It won't hurt your pets or your children, unless they eat it. There is no getting rid of it, short of replacing all the soil in your planter (and even then it might reappear). Since it makes such a beautiful addition to your household flora, I recommend learning to love it--and teaching your children to love it, too."

I know that. I do NOT want extra spores flying around though, close to the workspot.
Can spores be killed in pressure cookers? If so I will leave them.

i think most would, but...
if you let them germinate (is that the right word?), then they will definitely die. try PCing them, let them sit for 24 hours, and PC them again. that would probably take care of them, as well as any other particularly hardy spores.

ACID! and lots of it!
The dripping green goo that will eat a hold through solid steel!
Better idea = repotting.
That is, if you even still have a problem. I'm surprised your soil was good enough for shrooms. I wouldn't think they're doing too much harm to the plant.
I wonder what the BEST way to kill mushroom spores is...

It doesn't matter man. Leave them alone.
Think about all the other crap you've got going on there, while you're worrying about some spores in a house plant you have. Food waste, body waste, bacteria, mold spores and just general filth. Your world is a pig sty.
Be sterile when you work with your materials and it shouldn't be a problem.

They most certainly can be killed in a PC. That's why we use them....

Exactly. Why else do you PC a jar before you inoculate?

Is the answer not obvious to you? What do you think a PC does?
