What does it mean when mushrooms grow in a flowerpot?

1. Reasons why mushrooms grow in flower pots

The soil contains organic matter: Mushrooms growing in flower pots may be because the soil contains organic matter, some of which is not fully decomposed, such as weeds, leaves, wood blocks, feces, etc., which will ferment and grow mushrooms when they come into contact with water.

Use of mushroom waste materials: When preparing soil for growing flowers, if mushroom waste materials are used, there may be mycelium in the previous materials, and mushrooms will grow when encountering a suitable growth environment.

Frequent watering with organic fertilizer: If you frequently water the flower pots with organic fertilizer, it may also cause mushrooms to grow.

High temperature and high humidity environment: If you encounter the rainy season, the plant will be kept in a high temperature and high humidity environment, and the soil will be very moist, which can easily induce mushroom growth. If it is not the rainy season, mushrooms will grow if the soil is watered frequently and the surrounding environment is dark and humid.

2. The impact of growing mushrooms in flower pots

Release of spores: When mushrooms mature, they will release spores, which may affect people's breathing and have a great impact on people's lives.

Competition for nutrients: Most of these wild mushrooms are competitive fungi that grow fast and consume a lot of nutrients. They may compete with flowers for nutrients and may also inhibit the normal growth of plant roots.

Rotting and waterlogging: If wild mushrooms growing in pots are not handled in time, they may rot and waterlogge, attracting pests such as small black flies, ants, and flies, breeding bacteria and causing diseases.
