Looks like a fungus

I second this!

It looks like the fungus spores for “flower pot parasols” otherwise called Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. It is a gilled mushroom that is often found in flowerpots and greenhouses in temperate regions. It has a small, bright lemon yellow, oval or bell-shaped cap, yellowish gills, and a ring on the stem.

Overwatering of potted plants can cause them to appear and they are difficult to manage once established.

They work to break down organic matter found in soils and they do not harm living plants. However, remove mushrooms as soon as they appear if pets or small children have access to the area. If you want to get rid of the mushrooms in potting mix, you can try: Sunlight, Cold nights, and Completely changing out the potting mix in the pot.

This fungus is harmless! I would get it out of the plastic pot anyway (that’s always my number one advice) and you can treat with a little cinnamon - a natural antifungal that you probably have in your kitchen anyway!
