Ficus benjamina Soil Fungus, Galls, and Leaf Beads: Mostly Harmless

Yellow Mushrooms & Fungus

Saprophytic fungi on soil surface = harmless. Scrape off, let top inch dry between waterings. No beverages/food in pot. Fungicide drench if persistent.

Galls on Stems

No cure, but almost always harmless. Prune below gall if unsightly. Otherwise ignore.

White Beads at Leaf Bases

Normal sap exudate on healthy ficus. Do not remove.

Bottom Line

Your tree is healthy (green leaves, new growth, minimal drop). The “problems” are cosmetic or benign. Focus on consistent care.
