These funky mushrooms are growing in my aloe/succulent planter outside! I think they give it character, but will they hurt any of my plants?

No harm but them forming means that the soil is highly moist and favorable for them to begin life

How weird would it be to remove my plants and make a mushroom garden? 😂

These are most likely Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, a fungus that's commonly found in potting soil all over the world. It isn't harmful to your plants, but it can be indicative of too much moisture. Fungi like it wet, succulents don't.
Thank you! My climate is such a bummer. Hitting monsoon season and I’m gonna have to move all the succulents inside. I didn’t catch them in time before it downpoured this weekend, and came back to this! Thanks for the ID!
