I have a yucca plant, got it for 49p from bnq, they always treat em so bad,?

got it good and healthy it grew lots of lovely leaves and a rooty thing from the bark.... and a ring of canary yellow mushrooms!


Anyone know what they are? - not that I want to make soup with them! and how to get rid of them?


Had the plant about 18months and no mushrooms until this summer. (UK, this really damp summer that is!).

Yuccas like a free draining potting medium ans can almost live without any, if the add some sharp sand to the pot the mushrooms will give up
Reply:Mushrooms are a fungus and can grow wild in well composted media, especially in humid conditions. If you have had the plant 18mths it will probably be an idea to re-pot it with fresher mix (Yuccas like a very well drained mix).


Hope this helps, otherwise check out some botanical garden websites.
Reply:Cheap Yucca! the mushrooms are a bonus!they could have come from the spores that have been in the compost when it was planted,get down to your local library and borrow a book on Fungi.
Reply:Bargain... yucca AND mushrooms for 49p.They grow like weeds really and are so easy to take cuttings from...hence they dont get much respect .





The mushrooms may have come from the compost mix you're using.
