it looks like a mushroom. i don’t know a ton about them in relation to house plants, but i read in another comment that it could mean you have very healthy soil

Yes, mushrooms are good! You can pull it out or leave it, it just means that your soil is great!

I got these in one of my houseplants and it freaked me out. Turns out they’re called “pot mushrooms” and it just means your soil is good! Lol
