Mushroom in enclosure.

[clive 82]

Hi guys, been a while since I've been on here. Hope you're all well.
I've just fed my N incei sling and found a mushroom in the enclosure.

You can see it in the bottom left.
I know obviously at some point it's got too moist at some point. The white carpet like fungi over the substrate has been there for a while but doesn't raise any concerns with me. I'm a bit more concerned about the large mushroom though.
What are your thoughts? Take it out or leave it? Is it going to be harmful to the Tarantula?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe increase ventilation if all of that is growing in there.

The mushroom isn't gonna harm the tarantula (I get them pop up in some of my enclosures), pick it out if you want put you'll probably get more pop up sooner or later.

One time, I saw my Chilobrachys electric blue picking the emerged mushroom and took it out from it’s burrow and left it outside.

I had my T. vagans rip one up and smash it into a pulp in its water dish.

Yeah, that sounds exactly like typical Tliltocatl vagans to me.

Thanks guys. I'll increase ventilation and maybe less moisture in the enclosure.

I had that exact thing happen Sunday. I stood there looking at the webbing thinking "What in the hell?", "Oh, mushroom. Cool." LOL.

And he has plenty of ventilation so that's not always the issue. It's live soil, it happens.

Further proof they are tidy clean animals

Yeah, all of the enclosures I've had mushrooms pop up in have more than enough ventilation, drying the sub out doesn't kill off the mycelium either, it just goes dormant until you add moisture again.

Basically all substrates contain some amount of decaying plant material so you can't really avoid giving fungi a food source.
