I watered all my plants and let them sit on a towel to dry a little and when I picked this one up this white creamy stuff was coming out. I have literally never seen this before 😳 can anyone tell me what is going on?
I forgot the name but people say seeing that fungus is essentially a good thing. If I didn’t zoom in I would’ve assumed someone tried hiding hummus in your pot

I have no idea but I want people to bring me back to this thread so I can learn. Maybe something is rotting in there, or you had some paint/lining in that pot that wasn’t waterproof and it ….. Oozed? Maybe spider eggs that have gone off? Does it smell? Is it sticky? Is it tacky? Powdery? Elsewhere? Exciting. I’d have already had my Pothos out of the pot to investigate how the roots are!

Sclerotia and mycelium, probably from *Leucocoprinus birnbaumii* (flowerpot dapperling). Not harmful to your plant but if you start seeing mushrooms then the soil may be staying damp for too long. It does look like a very large pot for such a small plant.

An aside: did you know it is super easy and satisfying to propagate your pothos?

Mycelium, no harm, but you might want to let your plants drain in the shower or something water resistant instead of a towel which can also cause mold

Repot into something smaller so it doesn’t hold so much moisture, give it lots of indirect light and you’ll be good.

Fungus I guess but it looks like you put your pots directly on your windowsill, and it’s already caused water damage and you are asking for a mold problem, please put a dish under the pot.
