Hey guys I woke up this morning and found a little mushroom growing out of my soil. Idk what to do! Should I cut it out? Does that mean I overwater my plant? Or is too moist?

It just means your soil was colonized by fungus. It doesn't necessarily mean you're overwatering, though that's possible.

Pull it out if you like, but even if you do that it's just the fruiting body of the fungus. Most of it will still be living in the soil, and with your plant in there, its too late to try and sterilize the soil.

I doubt it will hurt anything anyway.

But this won't hurt my plant or influence my harvest greatly? I don't understand how this could happen i just replanted my plant in a bigger bucket yesterday (the new soil is different than the old soil but I don't think that really affects anything) and put fertilizer (for the first time) on top of the soil. I don't understand cuz the plant looked so healthy yesterday! Is it a health hazard? Bc it's in my dorm and i live and sleep there. Also should and if yes how can I get rid of the fungus.
