Popped up quickly in one of my potted plants

  These are actually called “flowerpot parasols”, complex Leucocoprinus brebissonii. They’re a harmless saprophyte originally from the tropics, they love orchid bark which is why they show up in flowerpots so often.

  Unfortunately I am no expert, but the experts all ask for pictures of both the underside and from the top like that for identification.

    Luckily, this is one of the ones that’s obvious from this angle. Also “growing in a potted plant” is a really useful piece of information for mushroom identification because it narrows down common possibilities a ton.

  Not an expert, but is that potted plant a tropical by any chance?

  I had something v similar if not the same pop up in a 5yo hot pepper plant. Turns out it was a sign of impending doom for that (and most any tropical) plant.

  Check with a real botanist, but I would suggest re-potting it asap.
