Hello, I planted some radishes 2 weeks ago, and a couple of days ago I noticed some caterpillars and white flies hanging around the radishes. I also noticed some holes in the leaves, and some leaves are getting cutted of the stem, but not all the way through, which makes them wilt and dry. I did some manual control on the caterpillars, and I haven't seen them since. Is there any way to keep the caterpillars away with some solution I could spray with a spray bottle? Or any other way?
But the weirdest is the yellow fungus (pictures below) that I found between my carrots and radishes. I water daily every evening. Is it harmful? It may be the dog vomit fungus but I'm not sure.

That's not dog vomit fungus. Dog vomit really does look like vomit, or like somebody sprayed the foam insulation from a can onto the dirt.
Mushrooms are normally harmless. Caterpillars can be gotten with BT. Don't know about that rot problem.
