I woke up to these fungi popping up on my monstera. Is that a bad thing ?

They love warm moist soil. They're not harmful to the plant but toxic to people and animals. Overwatered plants are more prone to them. You can remove them and the top layer of soil to remove spores to prevent them coming back. I actually think they look really cute.

Thank you ! I think they’re cute too. I just haven’t seen them before so I wasn’t sure if they’re harmful. :)
