Mushrooms Growing In My Boat!

[locodave]

I've kept my boat outside with a cover on, and I guess that is just a formula to grow mushrooms from the carpet!! Looks terrible for starters, but I want them gone and never to come back!

Is there a proper way to get tid of these things?

damp dark warm conditions = shrooms

Is there some kind of treatment you can use on the carpet?

Couple of drops of clove oil in 100ml of water and mist....not spray, mist the area. Should kill off the spores and any mould spores too.

An oil made from the spice clove....small knobbly woody thing. Great for toothache and killing mould and fungus spores (great for bathroom mould!). Buy from the chemist in a little bottle and use with care...just a few drops in a small spray bottle and mist the area.
