Looks like a harmless species. If you have pets you may want to remove the mushrooms just to make sure they don't try to eat them, but the plant won't mind having them there

Agreed with waspinator, most shrooms mean the soil is very good. I would just be mindful of a watering schedule to make sure it doesn’t get overwatered
