Mushrooms on my Philodendron

Question

Hi community! I've just discover little mushrooms on the soil of my plant, they're kinda cute actually 😅❤️ but a few weeks ago the plant is going out of leaves, they bloom and dry super quick. Can anyone help me? 🙏

I hope make me clear, i'm Argentinian so english is not my best language 😬❤️

Like Megan said, the mushrooms aren't a problem on their own, but they might be a sign you're watering too much or that the soil is very heavy & doesn't dry out fast enough.

@MeganO · Answer

Mushrooms in the soil is usually a sign of healthy/nutritious soil. If there are issues with the plant they’re not likely due to the mushrooms.

I agree with @noodles - if the soil is too wet, you'll get mushrooms, but wet soil will also cause plants to lose their leaves.  I'd slow down on the watering for a bit- your plant might perk up after it dries out just a little bit.
