Mushroom growing in crested gecko terrarium. Is it safe?

[Roki]

Hi everyone. Hope everybody here is doing great. I had a quick question. I have a mushroom growing on the side of a piece of cork bark in my crested gecko terrarium. I was wondering if this is safe. I clean it fairly regularly and I don't mind it being there if it is safe with my gecko but if it is not I would love to know so I can remove it. Thanks.

Hi Roki, could you possibly post a picture of the mushroom in your crestie's viv? If not could you give as accurate of a description as possible?

Thanks, Derrek

The mushroom itself is probably harmless. More concerning is that it is there at all which means your tank is probably far too wet for cresteds. Post a picture of your setup if possible.

Here is a picture of the terrarium. We removed the mushroom just to be on the safe side. But let me know what you all would think I should change.
Thanks

Hey you guys, I am having the same prob. Except the mushrooms are yellow insted of white. Are they the same thing ?

Yes, I have yellow mushrooms growing in my day gecko and (believe it or not) fat tail tank. They don't last that long. They don't bother the geckos and the geckos don't bother them. I'm not planning to eat them. They're quite pretty so I just leave them and remove them when they start to deteriorate.
