Discovering a mushroom sprouting in your bathroom can be a disconcerting experience. Here are some steps you should consider:
- Identify the mushroom: Determine if it is a harmless species or a potential hazard. Consult with a mycologist or use online resources for identification.
- Determine the cause: Inspect the bathroom for moisture buildup, leaks, or decaying organic matter that may have fostered the mushroom's growth. Address any underlying issues.
- Remove the mushroom: Wear gloves and use a damp cloth or paper towel to carefully remove the mushroom and any visible spores.
