Mushroom on Schefflera Stem: Fungal Infection Treatment

Yellow Mushroom = Fungal Infection

Mushroom growing on stem indicates internal decay. Act fast:

1. If on side branch: remove entire branch.
2. If on main trunk: scrape off mushroom, then spray stem & soil daily with Lysol for 7–14 days.
3. Reduce watering: let soil dry deeply between waterings.
4. Scheffleras tolerate drought better than wet feet.

Fungus thrives in moisture; drying out stops spread.
