A mushroom out-crop just indicates a healthy tank, at least it does with dart-froggers who try to set up biologically balanced set-ups for dart frogs under humid rain forest type conditions. With dry land reptiles it might indicate too much humidity, but with us, the advent of a shroom is always welcome. They are not dangerous to any dart frog, even if the mushroom is poisonous if you or I would eat it. Dart frogs don't eat mushrooms, even accidentally. They pick off insects accurately, without gobbling the surrounding plants or substrate by accident.
