Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you have no lower urinary tract symptoms (urgency, pain when voiding, bad odor) you are unlikely to have a urinary tract infection that requires treatment. It is probably a wild natural fungus that found you urine to be a nice place to live.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There can be fungus or mushroom growth in urinal due to various factors, such as the effect of bug, cleanliness related issues or others.

I do not recommend any culture or matter of concern to get stressed out unless you have any urinary symptoms in person.

Thanks.
