Hello everybody. I only have a few grows under my belt. Ive been using fox farms soils for the last couple ever since my local super soil company folded. I have 4 plants in 1 gallon fabric pots. The soil is Ocean Forest. I went to check on them today and noticed something that hasnt happened to me yet. There are tiny white mushrooms growing on a couple of the pots. Is this bad? Should i pick them? There in the small chamber of my 3 chamber tent. I dont have actual ventilation besides the window vents. Could this be why? Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Still air and moisture make for fungi and mold, need to get that air moving and make sure soil isn’t wet.

Could also mean your soil is optimal and everything is working out under the ground

Totally agree. When mycelium is present and fruiting, good things are going on underneath the surface. 
However, like the Growmies have pointed out, the optimal conditions for fruiting mushrooms is not ideal for cannabis. Your soil needs to dry back more between waterings and more is better when it comes to air circulation. Your ladies prefer this and it will help mitigate pests as well.
Stay lifted Growmie and be well.

This is in the small chamber of a multi chamber tent. Its only 1 foot deep by 4 feet wide. Not sure if any other ventilation will fit in there. But I’m moving them to the main chamber tomorrow. I have 1 - 6 inch clip on fan and 1 tower fan and an AC infinity 9 inch exhaust system. So should i remove the mushrooms?

I would get a fan that you can put above the plants to keep air moving, and one below the canopy also. You just want the air to have good circulation. I would go for an oscillating 6 in. fan with multiple speeds for both so you can really dial in the amount of air movement. The mushrooms shouldn’t hurt anything but I would remove them.
