Help there's mushrooms growing in my compost

About six weeks ago I bought a sack of compost from B&Q and planted up various seeds,beetroot,peas,runner beans,radish,tomatoes etc and placed them on a window sill to grow.
As time went on some things started to shoot and others that I thought were starting had actually started to grow a bit of fungi on them.
Yesterday I planted out some of the seedlings into the garden and left the rest of the trays outside too.When I have looked at them this morning there are two mushrooms:eek:.
What now concerns me is will they be poisonous because I've grown all my veg for the year in this compost.
I will have a better look when I get home from work and I'll ask DD to take a photo so I can upload/download it whatever it is you do.
Has anyone ever experienced this before? I think I might email B&Q aswell.

    There's millions of fungi spores in the air. I doubt it's down to the compost itself.

    How wet did you keep the compost? Fungi usually means too wet.

    maybe compost is recyled from a mushroom farm which means you have a crop of edible mushrooms check with B&Q
