I am concerned though because I notice a little brown spot on the leaf 😫 it’s been there since I bought it and hasn’t gone away does any one have any ideas ? I also notice that I have some mushrooms growing in the soil ? Should I be concerned about its little mushroom pot pal? ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0kka_IrI7IicuN4ADZm6oLswxOrpFavuGX92sOfqwkk/3rfYXob4SIutLMWLMutAfw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0kka_IrI7IicuN4ADZm6oLswxOrpFavuGX92sOfqwkk/5Fb3HiIlQRuJDsvQZBmMhw.webp?size=large) ## 14 comments ### happysoxdonkey commented on 2025-08-02 It looks fantastic! #### Lizzi replied on 2025-08-02 Thank you so much ! I’m so excited cause this is the only the second plant that I ever grew ! I kinda consider it my first cause aloe takes little to no care for it 🤣 #### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-08-02 That large lead is so impressive #### Lizzi replied on 2025-08-02 Thank you this was it when I first got it ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0kka_IrI7IicuN4ADZm6oLswxOrpFavuGX92sOfqwkk/jRUrU701Q0CPatxl-LJ5cg.webp?size=large) #### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-08-02 Cute! It did grow a lot! #### Lizzi replied on 2025-08-02 It really did so excited to see what the next week will bring since that was just a week difference ### harper commented on 2025-08-02 gorgeous!! unfortunately, brown spots are permanent- almost like a scar. the brown won't revert back to green but if it continues to spread, i'd check the roots and soil to signs of over/underwatering. as for the mushrooms, they are typically harmless and a sign of healthy (and moist) soil. you can remove them if you'd like :) hope this helps! #### Lizzi replied on 2025-08-02 Aww thank you was most definitely helpful ! I have yet to see the brown spot grow or anything so I’m in the good status then lol nice to know that the mushroom pals are technically a good sign thank you ☺️ ### Petals n pothos commented on 2025-08-02 Leaves with a lot of white variegation will always get brown spots. The white part can't photosynthesize and so it's useless to the plant, so any sort of bruising will cause a die off of those cells because the plant won't bother to try and heal it. One thing you can do to help is give it a bit of silica in its watering and fertilization routine. She'll use the silica to build stronger cell walls and you'll get less browning. The mushrooms are a good sign. It means the soil is healthy. #### Lizzi replied on 2025-08-02 I would def look into that ! She had that brown spot when I got her and notice it never went away but she def strong and healthy outside of that ☺️ ### Mateja commented on 2025-08-03 Mushrooms in the soil are actually a FANTASTIC indicator of soil health. They are probably growing from wood chips decomposing in the potting soil and do not take nutrients away from the plant. In many cases they have symbiotic relationships with plants. #### Lizzi replied on 2025-08-03 Copy monstera+ mushroom = happy plant 🌱 ### Waspinator commented on 2025-08-03 The mushroom looks like possibly a copprinoid species. They're harmless to the plant but you'll want to remove them if you have curious pets or children that might try to eat them (they're kind of iffy on edibility and have been known to make people sick if eaten with alcohol) #### Lizzi replied on 2025-08-03 Thank you , all little ones are far from plants so in that case no concern --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
