What is this weird thing in my house plant?

Question

I just noticed this light yellow-green thing growing in one of my indoor plants. I want to make sure it's not toxic, as it's on the floor and I have a dog. It's about an inch high, maybe 2-3 inches wide. I notice a couple more starting to poke through the dirt, too. What is it?!

Answer 1

mushrooms remove them quick so the spores dont spread,lighten up on the watering and spray the soil with a mixture of h20,dish soap and alcohol

Answer 2

looks like mushrooms- many are toxic, would definitely research further if I were you.

Answer 3

Ah!  I've had those pop up in my houseplants before.  They're some sort of mushroom.  They'll gradually bloom out into the traditional mushroom shape.

I honestly don't know if they're harmful to the plant (or harmful to the dog).  Mine didn't kill my plant, but I don't know if it could have hurt it in some way.  I'd suggest pulling them out, just in case they are harmful to the dog...

Answer 4

remove it before fido gets to it. yours is a baby but it will grow up to look like this.....

Answer 5

They are a fungus, & more than likely poisonous. I had red ones the same come in my garden. I think they say that brightly coloured fungii are the poison ones.
