Dealing with Yellow Mushrooms in Jade Plant Soil

Repotting Was a Mistake

Jade plants (Crassula ovata) hate root disturbance. The mushrooms are harmless saprophytic fungi; the repotting stress is the real threat.

Correct Approach

1. Stop repotting. Return to original pot if possible, or leave in current pot.
2. Remove mushrooms as they appear (pluck + surrounding soil).
3. Water correctly: Let top half of soil dry completely between thorough waterings. This deters fungus and suits Jade.
4. No liquid food (coffee, soda) in soil.

If You Want Faster Removal

A soil-drench fungicide labeled for mushrooms can be used, but proper watering usually suffices.

Jades thrive on neglect: bright sun, minimal water, tight pots.
