    It does look like a pest or disease so I would try to check the roots or just give it some water with Castille soap/oil or it may just a fungus

    That's flowerpot parasol. It's a mushroom That's harmless to plants. If you have curious pets or children who might try to eat it, you can treat with a fungicide or pick the mushroom bloom (it's not dangerous but can cause pretty bad stomach upset.) If that's not an issue, you can leave it as a companion species with your plant. Flowerpot parasol can indicate overwatering if you see it blooming frequently, but if it's just only occasionally, it's just happy to be there

    It’s a fungus. Its harmless. It shows there is organic material in the potting mix and sufficient moisture to feed the fungal spores. You can scrape it off or use a commercial fungicide. Letting the soil dry out more and providing good airflow can hinder the growth. 🪴🍀
