# Hey guys. I know mushrooms are a sign of healthy soil but I’m not…

Hey guys. I know mushrooms are a sign of healthy soil but I’m not sure what to think of this. I added mulch to help keep the soil moist since it was so hot but now this I found under the mulch. It’s a banana tree and it seems fine, should I scoop this out? We do have tons and tons of mushrooms that grow all over the property where I live. To add, she did have a case of spider mites not too long ago but it wasn’t too bad and she wasn’t affected by it. Thanks for any help! 🤗

i did a google search and the little yellow ones aren’t harmful, like you said it’s a sign of healthy soil! you can scoop them out if you’d like but they aren’t harmful to your plant :)
