Fungus in soil

So I have this growing in the soil. Not sure if good or bad…someone suggested if this fungus thrives in plant medium is good? Any idea what this can be?

Not good or bad really. Mushrooms fruiting in your soil suggests you are keeping the mix moist. Having fungi suggests healthy soil albeit a little too moist possibly for a bit too long. Mycorrhizae is what you want in your mix for symbiosis but it’s possible to have many different varieties of fungi in a healthy soil mix. Could have something to do with ambient humidity so if it’s really humid in the grow area mold could be a concern. I’d pull those mushrooms and toss em before they throw spores but otherwise do as you are doing. Maybe let the soil dry out a bit before next watering.
