Bella Donna Lipstick plant, weird mushroom type growth

[jenny mar]

Hello fellow gardeners,

After some fabulous help and advice for my echeveria, I wanted to ask for some advice for one more plant: My Bella Donna Lipstick plant.

I can see a mouldy type layer on top of the soil, and a weird long puffy mushroom was also growing out of the soil. Must be some kind of fungus, and I read that I should put cinnamon on the top soil, but just wanted to check with more seasoned gardeners on this forum what I should do, and whether this can spread to other plants? Are there any more seasoned Bella Donna Lipstick plant owners?

Thank you

You should not be worried about mushroom, they are only trying to break down dead material, not harm the plant. But you can usually fungus with a good reporting.
