QuestionI have little white "spores" growing of some of my ficus leaves. They are planted in the ground. I live in Fort Lauderdale florida. The leaves are curling together like folding in on themselves. What is this?
AnswerHi Holly, as I do not grow ficus I checked around on some sites...see if this helps you out.
You probably have Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, aka Lepiota lutea. It's very common in houseplants. They don't harm the plant and are not known to be poisonous to animals or people. I recommend you just enjoy them. See http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/feb2002.html kathy
