Got Mushrooms

Well, my first viv has been up and running for a little over 2 months now and a few days ago I spotted this tiny mushroom. And I was wondering if this is a good or a bad thing. I think it's pretty cool just didn't know if they are a good thing or not.

I think we all get them from time to time. They are not harmful, and some people actually encourage and welcome their groth. I think they make our vivs look even more natural. I get excited when I see new ones growing in mine.

I didn't do anything special he just popped up one day. I think it's pretty cool.

They will pop up from time to time. I get them too occasionally. Mushrooms will consume rotting wood. So actually they are a good sign in your viv and it just means there is a natural cycle happening there.
