Tons of mushrooms, and slugs!

[Aaron Koecher]

I first noticed that a lot of my delicate leafy greens like spinach and strawberry leafs had lots of holes in it. Some leafs being eaten entirely. So I started checking at night to see what's going on.

I found a couple catapillers here and there, and also some miniature June bugs looking creatures, but mostly what I found was TONs of slugs, and they seemed to be eating tons of mushrooms that grow at night and die off during the day.

So in wondering, should I be exterminating all these caterpillars and slugs that are climbing around in my garden at night.

Thanks in advance.

There are many good ideas on this on-going thread regarding slug control.
