Norfolk Pine Browning: Assess Pot, Light, and Mushrooms

Needle browning on Norfolk pines in a solarium with awnings may relate to pot size, drainage, watering frequency, or light. Mushrooms aren’t necessarily overwatering. Need details: height, pot diameter, drainage, last repotting, which branches brown, soil moisture after a week. Photos help. Don’t cut water blindly.
