I just noticed this in the dirt of my Chinese money plant! The plant looks healthy though.  
Is it mold? Please tell me it’s not spider eggs! 😂

It’s not spider eggs or any bug eggs. I think it’s just a fungus or mushroom.

To get ride of it you could switch out the top 2 inches of soil. But the fungus looks pretty bad so maybe a full soil change would be better, maybe getting a better soil mix that is. A bit more chunky could help. Also in the future make sure to give your plants soil a bit more Sun and a little less water.

Hope this helps!

Thank you! There was a point where I was overwatering it- oops!  
I’ll do a full soil change, but agh! it’s giving me the creepy crawly feelings 😂

It’s called slime mold. Not harmful at all

Scrape off and sprinkle some cinnamon on soil
