Mushrooms Growing at the Base of a Shrub – Should You Be Concerned?

If you notice wilting leaves or soft, rotting bark, the fungi might be affecting the roots.

In that case, it’s best to remove the mushrooms from the soil surface and inspect the base of the plant for damage.

Also, try to improve soil aeration and avoid overwatering, since excess moisture encourages fungal growth.

So, while these mushrooms aren’t always dangerous, they are a sign worth paying attention to — a reminder to check your plant’s health and keep your garden’s ecosystem in balance.
