# I'm new to plant care and was wondering if anyone knows what these…

_Posted by DSR on 2025-08-03_

I'm new to plant care and was wondering if anyone knows what these spots are. These mushrooms are also growing in the pot. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

mushrooms are an indicator of very healthy soil! they don't harm the plant but you can remove them if you'd like. for the yellow spots, i'm not an expert but i'd check for pests. hope this helps! :)

Thanks for the advise.

Mine do that too. As the leaf gets older, they usually go away

The mushrooms are flowerpot parasol if you want to learn more about them
