Um…. Can someone explain this to me? 🫪 is this normal? Harmful? I’ve NEVER seen mushrooms growing out of any of my other plants…. This is my Monstera Deliciosa.

Pretty sure this means you have a healthy soil biome! 😊🍄‍🟫

Oh I certainly hope so! 🥰

It can also be a sign that your soil is too wet since mushrooms like moist environments. I would be careful of how often you water it and be sure it isn’t getting overwatered.

…. 🫪 as I was literally bottom watering her in this picture lol. I also recently moved her to be closer to my grow light so I’m hoping the extra light helps too.. thank you!

Those are probably in the coprinoid mushroom family, but if you want a specific ID, you'd need to find a mycologist (post pictures of it on Inaturalist.) It's harmless to plants. Don't let any kids or pets eat them; coprinoids aren't very dangerous but they do cause stomach upset
