Learning About Mushrooms

Before you get too overwhelmed with this, you are doing nothing wrong. This is the natural process of organic matter decaying, you will find this often is a sign of extra moisture from watering.

Really just removing them by hand is your best strategy if they bother you, this is what I do just because they get on my nerves having them growing in my planters. Often this is a sign you might be overwatering your houseplant, so this could actually be beneficial to learn how to water them more effectively.

Natural Solutions to Mushroom Problems

Just like my health solutions, I prefer to go with natural solutions with my houseplants as well. To help you with this, below are some things that you can use to rid yourself of them if they are driving you crazy.

You can dust sulfur powder on mushrooms because it works as a fungicide. The problem is sulfur can make your potting soil acidic. Neem oil is a natural fungicide that can get rid of several fungi, including mushrooms. Mix 1 tablespoon of neem oil and a tablespoon of dish soap with a gallon of water. Spray this solution on the mushrooms every few days.
