If you don’t have pets/kids that could eat them then it doesn’t matter if you leave them or pull them. I don’t think the mushrooms themselves have any significant impact on the plant.

I put mychorizae in my houseplants and suddenly mushrooms appeared in my Christmas cactus.
I am mychorizae to start seeds in an indoor greenhouse. Pretty much every seed has mushrooms growing with the plant. I have been pulling them. Is it better yo leave them? Thank you
Definitely the right conditions that caused this, organic soil, warmth from grow mats & high humidity.

Naah, I bet it looks really cool! If your plant seems happy don’t worry about it!

The only reason I can think of to remove them (other than…because you want to) is that they MIGHT take up nutrients your blueberries need. But if they’re pretty and don’t seem to be affecting your yield, leave them be!

I have a half barrel on my back deck that I planted blueberry bushes in, and we’ve had a lot of rain in the last two months in GA (so much so that I haven’t watered since around April; it’s nearly the end of July) and it’s been a hot summer so far. A crop of mushrooms popped up over the mulch – first just a couple, then the entire barrel was filled…they’re white and fluffy – kind of “pretty”. I’m so relieved to know they aren’t harmful to my blueberries! Re-potting this beast of a planter would be quite an ordeal, so not entertaining that. I have no children or pets around, so no danger there…still contemplating whether to pluck or leave them (based on the fact they’re likely the sign of fertile soil). Thanks for the information!! :o)

I feel like the bot on the plant id subreddit but DON’T EAT THE MUSHROOMS UNLESS YOU KNOW 100% WHAT THEY ARE. C

You’re welcome! In my experience corn plants are pretty hardy – she’ll be fine!
