Good or bad?
Hey all,
I saw this little mushroom this morning in my Alocasia Portodora's pot.
Is it good or bad? Should I remove it? If so, do I need to change the whole soil?
Thank you!

Just be careful because you may be overwatering. Fungus grows when the soil remains too wet. Slow back on your waterings a bit and sprinkle a little cinnamon on the surface of the soil and mix it down into the first couple inches of soil. Do it quickly because the spores will cause more to grow. Unless you want to leave them, but for cosmetic reasons you could use the cinnamon. But I would still slow back on the watering because it could eventually cause root rot.
@Keyandre87 I only water when the soil is dry, I check with a moisture meter. But I've noticed it takes longer to dry since I've put it in a plastic pot. I think I'll move it to a terracotta pot soon. Or I might transfer it to Pon 🤔
In the meantime, I'll try your tip with the cinnamon! It might work for fungus gnats too.

@impeplants no fungus, no gnats lol and yeah again it’s still retaining too much water so transferring it to Teracotta would help
