Hi! A friend gave me her Norfolk Pine tree as she no longer had room for it. I donāt know what soil she used, but these āthingsā are growing in it. Iām thinking maybe itās a some type of mushroom, but, then again, I have no idea. I donāt know if I need to do anything with or to the soil or not. Can anyone help me with this? I appreciate it!
Signs of healthy soil! Not harmful to your plant!

Mini fairy circle š Theyāre common in houseplants and terrariums. Not harmful, but I personally pull them out because I find the spore dust to be kind of messy

I have allergies and asthma so I prefer zero fungus/mold in the house. If you want to remove it (though, like SR said, usually harmless to the plant) you can take out the top 1-2 inches of soil and refill it with new soul. Then, I'd use a fungicide (highly recommend neem oil; I use the Safer Brand spray bottle) on the topsoil every 1-2 weeks for a month. I'd also use neem oil for other pots in the room in case the spores have traveled elsewhere, and only replace the topsoil if you see growing fungus. Good luck! š
0 gillningarThanks, Mullein and Mike! I appreciate the info! Actually, Mullein, thatās what I did. Butā¦some new ones are already showing themselves. š³ Mike, you may have the answer, and I appreciate the how to instructions. Thank you also for recommending neem oil. Thatās good to know, as I know very little about choosing a fungicide. š
