What’s wrong with Chicken Pox😭

#RhaphidophoraHayi it has little orange mushroom looking things growing in the soil I assumed it was mold and I looked it up and it said it was most likely the soil type and it’s harmless
I’ve also never replanted her but I also just started getting on a watering schedule so I’m not sure what’s going wrong here
Is the plant light on a good color for it also?

Mushroom spores are quite small and could've hitched a ride into your place on a breeze or something you brought home. You can remove it if you don't like the look of it.

@ballondusoleil I’m not worried about the spores, I just wasn’t sure if it was harming my plant
thank you for the advice!

I had mushrooms grow in my ficus ginseng a few years ago - similarly, I hadn't repotted so I was also concerned but was glad to learn they’re harmless. Pretty neat the unexpected things you learn from having houseplants!
