Does anyone have any idea what these white things are coming up in my soil for my mandevilla? It looks like fungus of some kind, and it just popped up today. Any ideas?

Fungus. Potential mushrooms. The spores grow in rich moist soil. The spores could have blown in or they came in the soil. They are typically not harmful. You can remove them since there are only a few of them. You can use a commercial fungicide or check online for DIY treatment option if they get out of hand.🪴🍀
