I was thinking the same thing 😅 I've never seen that. I assume they would die out pretty quick

They look like parasola plicatilis, I could be wrong, its a type of ink cap. Im almost certain that they are not doing any harm to your pearls but potentially beneficial since mushroom mycelium is full of beneficial microbes :)

Put a bag over them so the spores are trapped and dig your fingers into the soil around them and pull from as far down as you can

Keep an eye on the soil moisture.

Thank you. I hadn’t watered for a week and after watering the mushrooms grew. Should I pull the mushrooms or will they die off?

I would let them, don’t think it harm your plant
