I have noticed tiny mushrooms growing in my succulent - I got the succulent from a supermarket so could it have got it from there?

I have since removed the mushrooms and disposed and the dead leaves from the soil as you can see and washed my hands - is there anything i can do? is this bad? is there any health concerns??

(apologies for bad photos - they’re screenshots fromm a video)

This has happened to my plants and from what I understand it just means the soil is fertile, shouldn’t be anything to worry about!

It means the soil is staying consistently wet, which is OK for some plants but not good for succulents. Let the soil dry out completely before watering again. I would change the soil to a chunkier mix that won’t retain the moisture.
