# My beautiful spider plant has some weird fungus :c Is this dangerous…

_Postat av Alora den 2025-07-18_

My beautiful spider plant has some weird fungus :c Is this dangerous to the plant? should i completely repot it? there is most likely more under the dirt. Does anyone know what this is or how to treat it?

My research says: It is a saprobe, meaning it colonizes and digests rich organic material, including the soil in indoor flowerpots.  
Toxicity:  
While generally harmless to plants, Leucocoprinus birnbaumii is considered toxic if ingested by humans or pets, so it's best to keep it away from children and animals.  
Presence:  
Its presence can indicate healthy, organically rich soil conditions and doesn't necessarily mean your plant is in danger.

Not worrisome! You can gently remove it if it’s unsightly to you but can actual indicate a healthy ecosystem
