So this started growing in my BP enclosure

[Neko_snake]

Does anyone know what kind of mushroom this is? It just randomly started growing in my pothos. Guess I'm keeping it too moist. If it's a harmless mushroom, I don't mind keeping it but I just want to make sure it's not going to hurt my snake or isopods.

I don't think it can hurt them either way? (they'd have to eat it?), but I'd probably pull it out, even though it looks kinda cool in there; telling the difference between edible & poisonous mushrooms is difficult- not something I can do, anyway.

Probably a member of Lepiota - the isopods should in theory eat it and get rid of it. Keep in mind plucking it just removes the fruiting body - there's still the mycelium, the roots of the fungus in the soil so it'll keep sending up mushrooms. It probably just indicates you have a lot of organic matter in that potting soil, which I guess is good, since it suggests there's no fungicides or dangerous stuff?

It's mostly just cypress mulch so yeah it definitely has a lot of organic matter. If my isopods are just gonna eat it then I don't mind leaving it. I highly doubt it'll mess with my snake since I know he won't eat it. If it was dangerous, I was planning to replant the whole pothos not just pluck the fruiting body.

What isopods do you use? I'd love to know for my future bioactive enclosure!
