Do you know the "why?" these mushrooms appeared. There obviously is water entry somewhere. Thanks.

When I was a kid...there was a mushroom farm by my aunt & uncle's house. As I recall, it wasn't "dirt" they were growing on...more like "leftover grass" from the cows....if you know what I mean.

Sure they don't have a leaky tank?

I'm sure any creature's "excrement" would produce the same "nutrients" needed to grow mushrooms, not just cows ~

Reminds me of a customer at a shop I once worked at. He had a DUI crash, and the totalled vehicle was towed in for parts. We had two weeks of unusually heavy rains, then not-so-unusual 90 degree days in February. (This is Los Angeles.)

My boss sent me out to the car to get a part, and I opened the door to a steamy greenhouse environment. There were about 150 marijuana seedlings sprouting out of the carpet!

I've seen shelf fungus growing in more than one trailer, but these are the first 'shrooms!
