Yellow Houseplant Mushroom

Leucocoprinus Birnbaumii aka Lepiota Lutea

Description:

Small yellow mushroom that grows fairly quickly, it is a common mushroom in house plants and greenhouses or any other place with organically rich soil where the temperature is warm. Yellow mushrooms will NOT harm your houseplants in any way. Nor will they poison you through your fingers if you touch them.

Habitat:

Will commonly grow in house plants and greenhouses or any other place with organically rich soil where the temperature is warm.

Notes:

Had these growing in my whites tree frog terrarium, at first didn't know what to think because they started off so small I didn't even notice them but they grow to about 1.5 inches in a matter or 2 or so days. Look nice and didn't harm anything.
