Mushrooms actually signify good soil so I wouldn’t worry about it unless it just bothers you from an aesthetic standpoint im which case you can just remove them

mushrooms mean good soil! but it can indicate your soil is staying moist for longer than a succulent prefers (this happens a lot with plastic/glazed pots) so you’ll want to be careful
