Mushrooms


Question
I have found little yellow mushrooms growing in the soil with my pothos.  I have had my plants for a few years and have never seen this before.  Could the musrooms be poisonous or dangerous in any way?  

Answer
Hi Nate,

As long as you don't eat the mushrooms, they are not a hazard to you or your plants.

If you want to remove them, scrape them out along with surrounding soil. New ones may emerge, but just keep scraping them out and eventually you should be able to get rid of them.

Keeping the soil dry as possible is also a deterrent to mushroom growth and the plant will probably benefit from drier soil, as well.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
