I've had this succulent for over a decade and recently its pot sprouted mushrooms for the first time. They lasted about one day. All I can figure is that spores got in through the open window.

@caten@mathstodon.xyz What you figured out is right. How long had that pot been there before producing mushrooms?

@caten@mathstodon.xyz Probably. But fungus is omnipresent, like bacteria, so you never know. Edit: the other half of the thought is that perhaps conditions were never quite what the spores wanted, and then one day unbeknownst to you, they had a sudden burst of optimism. 🙂
