# I’ve never had this happen before but a lot of my plants have this…

I’ve never had this happen before but a lot of my plants have this greenish white stuff on top of the soil and one of my pothos grew an actual mushroom. Is this fungus? Is it from my house being humid?

yeah that greenish beady stuff is a harmless fungus. you can scoop it off and sprinkle some cinnamon — no big!
