The mushrooms are a good sign that you have healthy soil but if you’re worried about mold on the top you can scrape it off.

These won't hurt the plant. You can just scoop the mold and fungi out, spritz with a pit of diluted peroxide, and/or increase airflow. This could however be a sign of over watering, so you may want to keep an eye on that.

I've heard that mushrooms in the soil is a sign if very good soil

I have a plant food that actually causes a fluffy cloud like layer of fungus on the top of the soil and sometimes little mushrooms. I spray the mold with HP water per Wolfen’s suggestion when the mold starts to look bad. You have good soil!!!

What plant food is it. I was thinking my Mycorrhizal was causing a bit of mine.
