There is a bunch of neon green mushroom/toad stools growing in my house plants. What should I do?

They are only growing in the two Wandering Jews I have growing in my north window. I wonder are they poisonous to touch? Or are the spores toxic to my kids? I have turned on my a/c so now the spores are blowing around the house. Or I would think since one is above each vent. Any suggestions?

take the plants out. call a nursery who specialises in plants and ask them. they can tell you weather the stuff is toxic or not but never risk anything when it comes to your children.
Reply:I've never heard of a toxic mushroom spore... there are a few toxic mold spores, but that's a different thing entirely...





As for the mushrooms, pull them off, throw them away, wash your hands. Without the mushroom tops, there won't be any spores. You may get another flush of growth from them in a few weeks. If you're really worried about them being toxic to the touch, wear plastic gloves, although I highly doubt it would be a problem.





Any fungicide would work to kill the hyphae in the soil. For a natural choice, cinamon is supposed to be a fungicide...
