No, but most do.
A mushroom grew in your houseplant because the spores of the mushroom landed in the soil and found suitable conditions to grow, such as warmth and moisture. Mushrooms are fungi that can thrive in organic material like potting soil.
they are both good!
Mushrooms need a dark and humid climate with plenty of soil
A mushroom grew in your plant because mushrooms are a type of fungus that can thrive in damp and dark environments, such as the soil of a potted plant. The spores of the mushroom may have been present in the soil or introduced through contaminated water or soil. The mushroom likely grew due to the favorable conditions in the plant's environment.
To produce a new mushroom, a mushroom spore needs a suitable growing surface (such as soil or wood), moisture, air, and the right temperature conditions. Once the spore finds a suitable environment, it germinates and develops into mycelium, which then forms a mushroom when conditions are ideal.
To successfully grow mushrooms from potting soil, you will need to create a suitable environment with the right moisture, temperature, and light conditions. Start by mixing the potting soil with mushroom spores or a mushroom growing kit. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and place it in a dark, warm area. Monitor the growth of the mushrooms and harvest them when they are ready.
Yes, mushrooms can technically grow without sunlight. They obtain all of their nutrients from the soil but they tend to use ambient light to produce vitamin D.
Some do, others need wood, others need straw, others need grain, etc. It all depends on the species of the mushroom producing fungus.
Mushrooms grow in soil when there is enough moisture and organic matter for them to thrive. The presence of decaying plant material or wood in the soil can also contribute to mushroom growth.
Mushrooms can grow in plant soil due to the presence of decaying organic matter, such as wood chips or compost, which provide a suitable environment for mushroom spores to germinate and grow. The mushrooms themselves are not harmful to the plant, but they indicate that the soil may be too moist or rich in organic material.
A mushroom grew in your houseplant because the conditions were damp and dark, which are ideal for mushroom growth. Mushrooms thrive in moist environments and can appear in potted plants if the soil is too wet or if there is poor air circulation.
Some do, some don't. For example is a type of mushroom called a "tree oyster" that only grows on hardwood trees. But many types of mushroom only grow in soil containing already decaying organic matter and could never grow on a plant.
