    I thought mushrooms and fungus are bad, because they spread their spores and the frogs would breathe them in causing all sorts of problems with breathing. That's why I always remove them as soon as they appear.

    So can I leave them in and be sure they're safe?

    I've never heard that before and I've kept them in with one of my $1400 pairs of dart frogs. You should be fine!!

    I was a little worried the first time I saw one in my viv. They look cool. And they do no harm!

    Those are some sweet pics! Can you post some of your vivs?

    Just be careful because some types of mushrooms are extremely poisonous. One in particular is the deadly galerena - orange caps and stems, most common habbitat is on dead or rotting branches and bark

    Mushrooms are only toxic when ingested.
