I had those mushrooms popping up this past year in some pots that had Happy Frog mixed in. Was not sure where they came from until I went to fill another pot and found the same mushrooms growing IN my leftover bag of HF.
If you can find it, you may want to give Mother Earth Ground Swell a try in place of the FFOF. I have had good luck after switching.

What leads you to believe it is? Iāve been curious about it for a while.
I get the 1.5cubic feet bag for roughly $20 after taxes where im at. Same bags are round $40 at grow shops. Kinda nuts.

Itās crazy and you still have to add nutes to the ocean forest
Thatās why I stopped buying it can get 2 big bags of soil for $20

Well I started with happy frog and have had nice healthy grows, This time I did buy happy frog and noticed deep after opening the bag 2 liter the soil felt dry and not Impressed,
So I ordered the Ocean Forest and noticed right off the top this soil was moister and felt like a wa state 200 foot pine tree winter moss we use to camoflauge as hunters ā¦ nice cold moist soilā¦ with groovy mushroomā¦

Happy Fog is the best for what I do. The soil holds water longer. It has a few stems in it. Other than that it is what it is. @anon98660487 said black gold I have used it. He uses it. I run boiling water in it. Sometimes here where I live they donāt take care of dirt. Like Home Depot just let it sit in the rain. Not good for it. Peace

Iāve only had good results with Happy Frog and that includes running plants with it with minimal feeding. Itās the Ocean Forest thatās hit or miss for me. One bag will be fantastic with zero issues and then the next will be plagued with at least ph issues. I had enough problems with one bag I decided I was done with it but I still had a big bag left to use up first. Everything has gone swimmingly with the ālast bagā so far.

I agree with ocean forest. I want get any more. @Slick1 itās not the same as it was ten years ago. Add water only with younger plants.

I always thought it was because of the seashells. Sometimes he would get a bag that would stink bad. It seems like mother earth was the same way.
Iāve only used their happy frog and only once. Full of fungus gnats. I use roots now. Itās pricey on Amazon but itās some good ass dirt.

If they let that dirt stay to wet or outside it happens.

@EugeneDebs420 , if you like your dirt and donāt mind paying , buy some canna terra professional PLUS ( bag must say plus ) , the peat in it is chunks of fluffy white peat , very nice stuff , expensive but worth it , most others use black peat , cheap and nasty lol , buy a bag just to see : )

Iām actually thinking of switching to coco and salts after I reset. Paying $30/bag of soil on Amazon is getting old. Wish there was a hydro store nearby but all weāve got is lowes and finding anything in an outdoor garden center thatās not full of gnats just doesnāt happen.

The roots original is good shit though and if I could find it at a normal retail price Iād definitely stick with it.
