Hi hoping you can help I grew a herb garden and veggie garden. It all of the sudden had a bunch of translucent clear tall white weeds amongst the plants. The plants are looking well but are they still safe to eat and use? Thanks for your help see attached picture Lisa

That   is a mushroom. It does not affect the safety of your plants. Just  knock them over.

Thank you. I have never seen a translucent mushroom like this before. What is it called?
