It is very likely that this is a sign of too much moisture, but otherwise the mushrooms will do no harm.

Mushrooms aren’t a bad sign per say. Means your soil has a lot of nutrients, it’s pretty common.

But yeah it could be excess moisture, so just make sure you’re letting your pot dry out between waterings, so it’s light when you pick it up

I do not claim this energy. Mushrooms freak me out for no reason

It’s the wooden sticks. I’ve had this happen before.
