My Habanero has mushrooms growing around the base.
This doesn't strike me as a good thing. Should I worry? What steps should I take to fix?
Am a noob at growing, let alone chillis so please forgive me if this is obvious!
Thanks

It’s not a bad thing. Just means you have an environment that’s healthy and conducive to life and some opportunistic spores were either already in the soil, or found their way there through other means. I’d probably pick and safely dispose of them because I’m not a mycologist, don’t know if they’re poisonous, and would be afraid of my cat sampling them because she’s not that bright, but I don’t think there’s any detriment to leaving them there if you don’t have such concerns.

Good soil right there. Shrooms are already in your soil as mycelium. It’s a very good sign that there’s conditions for it to thrive, meaning that you’re enjoying the benefits of the synergistic relationship between plants and fungi.
