growing in my soil.

I never know what to do when I find a little mushroom or two growing with my house plants. I would love to leave them and have a mushroom garden but I am afraid they will consume my plants!? I pulled this pair out yesterday and couldn't help but photograph them. They look like they just met at a dance, like each other, but feel awkward getting too close.

  1. I left a few in and they didn't take over.. they eventually wilt away from the moisture

  3. Most of the mushrooms you see are mycorrhizal and the actually HELP the plants. Fun fact. The actual mushroom that you see is just them reproducing.
