I’ve read that’s a good thing. Means soil is super healthy. I would just pluck the mushrooms out and leave it be.

### Christine commented on 2025-11-08

Yes, great soil. The mushrooms usually die off quickly on their own, or you can pick them like the other comment said. Healthy soil!

It’s typically not harmful. Mushroom spores can come with the soil, blow in the air or come in on people/pets/tools. It can also indicate the soil is staying wet too long which could lead to fungus gnats laying eggs in it. Ensure there is good air circulation to help with evaporation. A commercial fungicide can help if it gets to be too much. 🪴🍀

Fungus can be super beneficial to root structures under the soil. The mycelium and plant roots usually have a mutually beneficial relationship. It will occasionally put out mushrooms like you’ve posted - just means the soil is doing well for the plant. The mushrooms will die off soon and the mycelium will stay under the soil - if anything, it’s a good sign for future health of the plant

Just means your soil is healthy. If you have pets I would pluck them out now as they are poisonous to pets

“leaf them be’ because, if there’s fungus among us, our plants are doing well🤓🤣

Don't let any pets or curious children eat them (they're not lethal but they're not edible either; they can cause stomach upset), but otherwise just enjoy the little mushrooms. If they appear very frequently, it can indicate overwatering, but they're fine to have around
