I would recommend cutting yellowing leaves off from the base, and trim any brown areas away on the leaves. Now for the mushrooms, they are completely safe for the plant, however if you don’t want them, wear gloves and remove the mushroom and surrounding soil. Mushrooms are toxic to humans and pets when consumed, so if you have any curious kids or pets I would definitely get rid of them.
Also, I would recommend checking the roots and making sure it’s not root bound. The pot should be 1-2 inches bigger then the root ball. Yellowing leaves always points to signs of it needing help down under the soil. Hope this helps!
@user11861000 Thank you so so much!!!! i’ll try all of those ☺️🤍🤍
@caitlynn7 Hope all goes well!
it’s fine, honestly, just don’t water as much because the mushrooms grow in the moist environments, or bottom water so there is none sitting on top for the mushrooms. eventually the mushrooms will die, but don’t touch them, they will go away on their own. ❤️
It is necessary to transplant the plant into another pot and before that treat it with a fungicide solution (roots as well)
