House plant with fungus growing in it?

the spider plant i have growing in my bathroom has something that looks like a neon yellow mushroom growing in it... i'm guessing it's a type of fungus but i'm not sure what to do about it becasue it grew back after i pulled it out the last time..

It's actually called the houseplant mushroom aka Lepiota lutea. Gorgeous little things aren't they? They do no harm to your plant and may even be beneficial. Seems to be conflicting info on edibility (probably because it would take a mess of them to make a meal) at worst they cause gastrointestinal distress. If you have kids at the "grazing" age it's probably best to keep them picked. If not you can just enjoy it as a little gift from Mother Nature. RScott
Reply:Change the soil!!
Reply:could be, depends what the soil was made up of, though the moisutre in the bathroom will always keep it coming back!
