Flowerpot Parasol! As the name implies, it often grows in flowerpots and greenhouses in climates that would otherwise be too cool and dry for it naturally.

As a general rule, fungus in your plant pots is a good sign for your garden, it means your soil is healthy, and they're no cause for alarm!

(Just make sure that if you have any young children that they are supervised and know to *never* eat Mushrooms they find, as these and many others are poisonous if consumed.)

[ID: Four images, each a different angle of a bright yellow cat litter pail that is being used as a plant pot for a pepper plant {Sugar Rush Cream, Capsicum Baccatum}.

There is mulch in the container in the form of pine bark mini nuggets, and one entire half of the container has bright yellow mushrooms coming up with wide umbrella-like caps that have a brown circle in the center.

The mushrooms have pushed the mulch around and squeezed into all available space, including between the pepper stems, squishing the caps as they crowd each other.

The stems of the pepper have turned brown and woody with age, (two year old plant) known as lignification, and there is bright green new growth farther up the plant.

Solanum Quitoense daily update August 16th, 2022 :) adjusted the sun shade so it's got more breathing room now that it's established.

[ID: two images, both of the same large garden container, which has a length of camo burlap pinned into place over the open side of a black tomato cage to block the sun. The first is a top-down view, showing the Naranjilla plant from above with it's bright green leave, while the second is a picture from outside the burlap, showing that the Naranjilla plant is just barely visible though the fabric.
