Those are very common mushrooms in potted plants. They’re harmless and many consider them a sign of healthy soil. I personally think the spores are messy, so I tend to pluck them out, but you don’t need to

This is what I know of them, too. Healthy, moist soil. I usually pluck out the mushrooms as I don’t like them in my plants. Just repotted all my plants, so hopefully it has better drainage and aeration this repotting.

Woah those are pretty mushrooms! They usually come when the soil is kept consistently moist. Depending on the type they can either have this beneficial symbiotic relationship, or it does nothing to the plant and minds its own business, or harms the plant in some way.

BOP’s are tropicals that are on the end of loving moisture even more than its other tropical family members. As such, I wouldn’t worry much at all about these little buddies. Let them stay or chop them - your choice! 🍄
