I’ve been setting up my first tank, have soil topped with sand, and I was working on my hard scape when I saw something in the back of my tank. A mushroom?? I’m worried that even if I take it out something will be left behind that’s toxic to my fish. Does anyone have any idea on if it’s okay or not?

Isn’t there an aquarium fungus guy who hangs out around this sub? 🧐
Looks like a terrestrial mushroom. It shouldn’t be able to survive once submerged.
u/ganodermahh may be able to shed better insights.
Saved. I want one of whatever this is.
I’m curious about identifying this thing, too, just as a general mycology enthusiast. This is a neat little shroom.
I had one grow underwater in a tank I was trying to get properly planted 6-7 years ago. One of my mycology geek friends went apeshit cause it ended up being something like a Psathyrella aquatica which is pretty uncommon and it ended up getting me interested in mycology too, though I didn’t get into the aquatic side of things.
Fungus was living in the soil and it probably bloomed thinking it got a good rain fall 😂
