Should I worry about pot mushrooms?

So this is one of my Philodendronsโ€™s sheโ€™s grown a lot this past summer n I notice a mushroom grew under the pot n Iโ€™m pretty sure another one is growing should I be worried?
3ft to light, indirect
6โ€ pot with drainage

Thatโ€™s usually a sign of good healthy living soil. The mycelium has a symbiotic relationship with the plants. They will give the plantโ€™s nutrients and water when needed. Plants grow much better in that type of soil when itโ€™s alive
I have had them as well and it was good soil for me can you also check her roots she may need a bigger Pot ๐Ÿชด

@SirLiquorice thank you
Itโ€™s one if not both of those videos he talks about it
@SirLiquorice thatโ€™s so interesting Iโ€™m watching it now wow I never knew that
Yeah itโ€™s interesting and crazy to think about what he says in one video. That the largest living organism is fungus in the soil over a very very large area. Keeping all the plants and everything alive and working together. Sending nutrients and water to any plants that may need it and they all can communicate with each other.
