Ponytail palm fungi help

8 years ago

Hello fellow gardeners.

I have a ponytail palm that was bought a few month or many weeks ago. It was doing all well and nice until it started growing some mushrooms. My grandmother told me it was fine and that it was a sign that the soil is nutritious, so I ignored it. But I did removed some mushrooms but they kept growing back. For this week, the mushrooms didn’t grow back, but some of the dead mushroom pieces remained. Today, I watered all my plants (I watered all plants once a week), and realizes a “white mark” below the trunk of the ponytail palm. Although, I did notice it a couple of times, for somewhat reason I begin to worry more about it today, the mark remained on the palm for at least 2 or more weeks. I was wondering if the mark is harmful or not and if it is, how can I help my palm and treat it? Do I need to change the soil? If I should, can peat moss be used? Does the white mark cause the bending or croaked trunk of the palm? Please help my palm and feel free to ask me any questions about the condition of it THANKS!
