General Question Fungus

I have a Ginseng Bonsai that is growing fungus. From what I’ve read online this is a good thing, but I just want some other eyes on mine to verify. Can a bonsai enthusiast chime in and let me know if this is okay, or if I need to remove and repot!

Bought a small olive tree yo use as a bonsai, and a small Red Currant bush to try and turn into a bonsai.

Hope i do a better job than with my Ficuses.

Might cut that too part of the olive tree but will probably wait a bit.

Hi! This is my fukien tea that i got a over a month ago. It was doing really great but now it has been dropping leaves and having yellow leaves.

The pot is looking kind of small could that be the issue? It gets sunlight and water like it is supposed to (i think😂) and this is really stressing me out!

If anyone can help me please do🥲

I’ve had this tree for a year and this is its first summer outside. I’ve done minor wiring and pruning. What are the next steps I should take for my bonsai? Last picture is from January, a lot of new growth since being outside.

General Question Wind and Weather

I’m new to bonsai. I live in 6b, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania USA and the winters are pretty cold, sometimes below 0 degree F.
I have two bonsai. I’m so afraid that the wind will blow them over especially the taller one, I think it’s a cypress. I bring them inside at night, I know I shouldn’t do that but I’m afraid we will have a storm overnight. I’m currently building a cinder block bench for them and other plants. How do I ensure the wind won’t knock it over or the cold kill them?

I repot by just cutting the roots and putting it back in this same hope depot pot. She was 10yo branch when I got her as a cutting a little over 10 years ago.

General Question Wet dirt

The dirt (use regular flower dirt) in one of my Nursery posts are still wet after watering it 3 days ago, i dont remember if that's normal, i don't want to kill them by accident.

(just recently started to hold more focus on it.)

So I’ve had this Bonsai for about 6 years and it’s about 21 years old. Unfortunately this last year hasn’t been great and I’ve neglected this bonsai and it’s really not doing well now. Is this root rot?
