Mushrooms typically indicate healthy soil. You can pull them out of you want but they aren’t going to hurt anything.

Spray some baking soda with salt in water. I use this spray to get rid of the white powdery mildew on my sage plants. I’m near the ocean so mildew and fungus is common

It looks like a flowerpot parasol. They're pretty common for potted plants. They're harmless to the plant. If they appear frequently, they can be a sign of overwatering, but this one probably just liked the rain

You can just scoop them out and them pour on some peroxide in that are, to kill any spores. They shouldn't be detrimental to the tree though. Its very common for fungi spore to be present in any soil based mixes
