Hello, My question has to do with a little mushroom I found growing in my soil under my plant. Is it a good sign or a bad sign?

It won't do to much harm, usually a sign of overwatering. Some spores probably landed in the soil and your conditions have made it thrive.

Mushrooms are an indication that your yard has a lot of organic material in the soil. Mushrooms help break down that organic material, and make your soil more productive.

DWC air pumpAnyone with previous experience, what's the minimum/optimum size pump for my air bubbler? I have a cheapo single line pump, I'm assuming it's enough but not optimum. Can anyone put a number on it in cfm? Is more always better? At what point do you reach diminishing returns?Setup. Substrates

Promix users - High runoff PPM out of the bag?For those who use promix, I'm wondering if you've noticed high outflow PPM from fresh promix? I'm using promix HPCC.
My inflow was 300
My outflow was nearly 2000
I calibrated my bluelab pen to ensure accuracy.
All numbers are on the PPM500 scale.5y ago
