Mushrooms generally mean good soil and that your plant is probably happy

That’s very odd. I’ve never seen that before. It looks like some sort of mushroom almost. Maybe you remove it and see if there is anything with it or your plants roots

### Eva comentó el 2023-10-23

The plant itself is good, I just find it very odd that the mushroom is just there next to it :/

I have very bad news for you.

Your soil is so healthy other life forms want to live in it.

Did you know people add certain mushrooms to help promote root growth?

Just remove it and continue on as normal.

You can also look up using hydrogen peroxide in your soil but it can kill good bacteria, unless it takes over the pot dont worry

Thank you so much guys! I was freaking out

Agreed. Happened to me before and I freaked out until I learned my soil was alive and a eco system all on its own. Good soil.

What soil are you all using?
