Re: Titanum Leaf Cuttings and yellow fungus

Bill, the fungus (Leucocoprinus birnbaumi) is quite harmless to the plants,
and is a common inhabitant of flower pots in warm greenhouses, terrariums etc
and is originally a tropical species now widespread around the world. When
they open they are very pretty but short-lived. They feed on the bark chips
and other detritus in the compost but will not affect the composition of the
soil to any great extent. Nothing to worry about!
