Why are mushrooms growing in my houseplant, is it b/c the soil is too moist, I don't get it the plant has

Question

never been outside, is it safe to touch, they smell moldy

Answer 1

I am not sure why, but they grow in my houseplants, too!  They won't hurt you.... I just pull them out and throw them away.

Answer 2

Thats the same with me! I guess you just pull them out!

Answer 3

the spores (seeds) for fungus are in potting soil and when the plant is kept too wet and warm, too, they grow.... just remove them (put your hand in a baggie , grab them , pull them off, then pull the baggie off your hand and over the fungus) and throw them away and then let your plant's soil dry out a little  before watering it again.....
