    Mushrooms are not hurtful to your plant, it just means you have good healthy soil with lots of nutrients! If you don’t like the look of the mushrooms though, you can easily just pull them out! They are hard to get rid of permanently, but if you would like to try, you can repot the plant with new soil, mushroom free! Hope this helps!

    Ive never had any repeat visitors after pulling them. If there is any mold i like to spray the soil with diluted rubbing alcohol, it will grow on some moist soil so will possibly come back after the next water. But the alcohol seems to kill it inbetween waterings :)

    Oof…I’ve had bad issues in the past with some potting soils. They get moldy, mushroomy, and smelly. There might be some way to treat it, but I truly think the best way might just be to repot the plant in fresh, new soil. As others said, none of this is likely to hurt the plant in the short term, but I suspect over time it could cause a fungal infection of the plant.
