What in the world is going on… why are mushrooms growing with my painted lady philodendron??  
I left for a week and before I left I noticed one mushroom, I got it out as soon as I noticed and threw it away. When I got back I was met with all of this. I don’t know what this means or what’s going on I need help

(Side note, the mark on the leaf has been there since it unraveled, it had a rough unraveling I suppose)

It’s a good indicator of healthy soil but it might mean a tad to much water. Pretty plant 🪴
