I don’t think any mushrooms growing in pots are harmful to your plants as they often live off of decomposing materials in the soil and not in the plant itself

PLANTS LOVE THESE GUYS. Mushrooms generally mean good things for plant pots as they fix nitrogen to the soil. I had some yellow ones called flowerpot parasol that freaked me out, but not as bad as the inky caps that grew and melted themselves before I could show anyone lol.
