I’ve had this plant for a few years now. Just noticed this little bulge sticking up today.  
Does anyone know what it is?

It looks like a mushroom! Mushrooms are slightly beneficial to plants and mean that the soil is healthy and diverse. If you want, you can remove it.

Oh thank you for the answer! So weird that 1 mushroom would pop up after a year since repotting lol

At first I thought it was an offshoot but I was pretty sure Ficus don’t do that lol
