Yay! I was so psyched when I found this growing in one of my terrariums:

I wish I'd get more fungus surprises in my vivs and terrariums!

How do you get mushrooms in your vivs? Do you buy them? Is there a place to get them from? I would like to have some.

For the most part, they just happen naturally from time to time. Mushrooms are just the fruiting body of mycelia, which typically grow on rotting wood.

This guy appeared the other day, and was gone within three hours of its appearance.

I've been getting a ton of these for the past month in my highland bronze viv. They grow everywhere, but are most common on the nut pods.

This is taking over the side of my 30g extra high. It's about 10"x7"! I've had slime mold before but this one looks like it's settling in for the long haul
