Hi. I have a large Monster and overnight mushrooms have appeared. Any advice what to do?

I’ve read that’s a good thing. Means soil is super healthy. I would just pluck the mushrooms out and leave it be.
2 gillningarYes, great soil. The mushrooms usually die off quickly on their own, or you can pick them like the other comment said. Healthy soil!
2 gillningarIt’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. 🪴🍀
2 gillningarFungus 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
2 gillningarJust means your soil is healthy. If you have pets I would pluck them out now as they are poisonous to pets

0 gillningarDon'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
