They are not harmful. It may indicate the soil is staying moist too long.

Thank you but should I cut them out to avoid them propagating?

mushrooms are just the fruit of the fungal network! it’s in the soil now 😆 but the other commenter is right, i don’t think they’re harmful (assuming you weren’t planning on eating the plant haha)
