some kind of fungus

[Cheveyo]

went on a 3 day "vacation" and I found this on the outer rim of the pot. 

The top of the plant isn't really growing, the new leaves are browning. 


How should I handle this fungus?

[Cheveyo]

so that yellow mushroom thing got about 4 inches tall, too tall for me.  So I picked it out with a napkin (still not know what it was) and it had roots about an inch deep in the soil.  so I just tossed it.

I think it could indicate overwatering.  I haven't seen mushrooms in flowerpots that are allowed to dry out a bit before watering.  Well, actually, I saw mushrooms sprout from some Miracle-Gro Organic soil about two days after I potted some plants in it, but they dried and died before I watered them again.

My sally looks a lot like yours.  Is yours a Blosser strain?

[Paradoxic]

Its not necessarily overwatering, but letting the soil dry out might help. I get fungus in my soil often as well. It usually is pretty benign as long as it doesnt take over. You could try getting some fungicide if it gets worse...be careful not to harm your plant though.

have you thought of using neem oil, that might do the trick. also maybe your plant could use some more light, that would also help

[Cheveyo]

I think I've just been watering a little too often.  And yes, that is a blosser strain.

lol the old pencil trick. haha "I had that same setup". Yeah but if you had a mushroom pop up in your soil then its probably due to the compost? Lots of Manure? Organic Matter. Usually funguses don't develope indoors. I would try to taxify it maybe its an active mushroom. lol jk.

Well, the very top of the plant is dead and brown, but it looks like growth is starting from lower branches.

I dont trust miracle gro i think they have dirty soil. I had inkcaps pop up in my soil too...but i've also had aphids and gnats nesting in the soil as well.

I bought some organic potting soil from a co-op near me...NO MANURE...and its much softer and drains better than miracle gro.

I have a summer job at a large scale plant nursery, and I see those same mushrooms pretty frequently and the plants all do just fine.
If the soil stays moist, chances are that you'll get some mushroom growth but I don't think its a problem.
Nip it in the bud and just pull it out of the soil.

what kind of humididy does this see?

I forget if I read that over water'n or low humidity browns the edges of the leafs like that.  ...Sure seems like the 20% humidiy I had did the same to mine.

I am just new though.

[Cheveyo]

It ranges between 20% and 85% humidity, I did have some mites but I got rid of them before anything got worse.  However, every new leaf that grows off of my plant ends up turning brown and dieing at some point.
