Cool! It may seem concerning, but in most cases, that’s actually a good sign of health in terms of your soil. You can remove it if you don’t like it, but that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with your peperomia or the soil. If you water it from the top rather than the bottom, that might’ve caused the mushroom due to the moist top soil. Hope this helps!
