Mushrooms?! What do I do?

Woke up today and glanced at my plants which are on my bedroom windowsill (SE facing), and found mushrooms growing in my String of Pearls 😭😭. Removed them immediately. Assuming been overwatered. Only just learning to trust my gut not the app when it comes to watering! I will not water in 4 days when it’s due, as I’m assuming too damp. Is there anything else I can do? Will they regrow?!
5” pot with drainage

Hi Elsie and welcome to the Greg community. I totally understand your need to remove those little mushrooms.
They will not harm your plant, actually they indicate that you have great soil!
It's best to only water your SOP when the soil is pretty dry, they're a succulent and don't need to much water. I must admit I've always followed the app watering good but I'm sure to check the soil first, and only water should the plant need watering.
Those mushrooms πŸ„ will just pop up and then die, good soil and damp conditions produces them.
Hope this helps alleviate your concerns πŸ„ happy growing 🌱🌿
@Sassylimey ah wow thanks, I thought it was a bad sign. Gosh that surprised me! Thanks so much. Puts my mind at ease
