Carole on Sep 08, 2013It is a toadstool probably, not a mushroom and so whatever you do, don't try to eat it as it will be poisonous! The probability is that the potting mix in the pot is too wet. When there is too much moisture, you get fungi, toadstools and mushrooms are a type of fungi. I think you are probably over watering this plant. Either that or it needs better drainage. Try putting the pot up onto some pebbles or removing the saucer as the water needs to drain properly from the potting mix.Helpful Reply

Carole on Sep 08, 2013BTW we had several weeks of heavy rains and our back yard, which is mulched, was covered in about 3 different varieties of toadstool as a result. Now that the weather has changed and no rain for a few weeks, the toadstools are dying off.Helpful Reply
