I’ve got a mushroom growing in one of my spider plants! I’m going to remove it. A weird but nice surprise this morning!

Maybe one day! It was a total surprise this morning 😆

No idea how it happened but kinda like it!

It is supposedly a good sign that your soil is doing well.

I mean scientifically, not necessarily mystical lol

#### Kat replied on 2026-05-16

Oh good! Removed it because I have small children but looking forward to seeing more pop up! 🍄‍🟫

#### Kat replied on 2026-05-16

😆😆 I think all mushrooms are mystical! 🍄

Theoretically mushrooms would pop up more usually now because the part that comes out of the guy is just reproductive, but the“roots“ of the mushroom are underground and thriving with the plant 😃

Fascinating! I’ll look out for more popping up.
