Most likely diagnosis

Harmless saprophytic mushrooms growing in damp, organic potting mix

The plant looks generally fine, and the mushrooms are the main new development. These are most likely harmless fungi feeding on organic matter in the potting mix, which usually shows up when soil stays moist and rich for a while. This is a moisture/organic matter issue in the pot, not a disease in the plant itself. The plant may be slightly overwatered, but there is no clear sign of plant decline in the photo.

What to do today

No emergency treatment is needed if the plant looks healthy. Remove the mushrooms and adjust watering so the top of the mix can dry a bit between waterings.

Pick off the mushrooms at the base and discard them

Let the top layer of potting mix dry before watering again

Empty any excess water from the saucer if there is one, and ensure the pot drains well

Differential diagnosis

Also possible, but less likely

The potting mix has stayed too wet, encouraging fungal growth

Decaying organic debris in the soil is feeding the mushrooms

Less likely: a stressed root zone from overwatering, if the mix smells sour or stays soggy

Targeted checks 🔎

What would prove it

Does the soil stay moist for many days after watering?

Do the mushrooms appear after watering and then fade as the mix dries?

Does the potting mix smell earthy rather than sour or rotten? If it smells bad, root stress is more likely.

Over the next 1-2 weeks

Watch the moisture pattern

If mushrooms keep returning, the mix is staying too wet or very rich in compost. That is usually fixed by slightly less frequent watering and better airflow at the soil surface.
