Help appreciated! My plants were overwatered by a plant-sitter, and this baby rubber plant appears to be growing mushrooms. How concerned should I be, and how do I get rid of them? (Dig out and repot?) Thanks for any help you can give!

    mushrooms are a sign of very healthy, moist soil. they typically are not harmful to the plant, but you can remove them if you'd like :) however, if it's growing mold and drowning in soggy soil, a repot might help fight root rot and the overwatering issue. hope this helps!
