Various saprotrophic fungi

Mycelium Partners

Beneficial fungi that cycle nutrients — observe, do not panic.

White mycelium threads in healthy substrate are often a sign of a living system, not a failure. Learn to tell them apart from harmful mould blooms.

Diet: Organic matter (natural cycling)

Care tips

  • Vent if fluffy mould appears on leaves.
  • Maintain springtails to balance blooms.
  • Photograph changes weekly to learn patterns.

Cautions

  • Not all white growth is friendly — fuzzy surface mould on plants is different from substrate mycelium.
