Google: Getting Rid Of Mushrooms Growing In Houseplant Soil click the first article that appears from gardeningknowhow website. Hope this helps if you'd like for more info on the mushroom or to help you decide whether to keep it or attempt to remove it. Happy houseplantin’!

it looks like a Leucocoprinus birnbaumii (other names L. luteus, the yellow parasol mushroom)

Same thing in my planting box. About the size of my finger. I was wondering what type it is.
