I found what appears to be a mushroom growing amongst my chilli pepper plants. the soil isn't great, but I got impatient and planted a few in a makeshift milk-carton propagator. the seeds appeared to be growing fine enough, but within the last few days (mushroom wasn't visible in a picture I took on 1st April), this has appeared. at first, I thought it was some sort of garlic clove or maybe a nut ':)
does anyone know if my plants will still be ok? I checked in the fungi and lichen section of my wilflife of Britain handbook (by the RSPB, apparently. a cool little book) but couldn't really find a solid match. I have other things growing in some new soil so it's not a massive issue if these are no good, but still thought I'd see if anyone knew, before freaking out and throwing potentially good seeds away!

Fungi is just a sign of healthy compost. It will grow when the soil stays moist, which is normal when starting seedlings. You can just snip the tops off if they get in the way
That’s happens often. Nothing to worry.
It’s fine
I’d never had this before and had it 3 times this year! I knew it was fine as I’ve had them growing in my beds before but never in with seedlings so I thought it was weird it happened 3 times
