So these little Brown spores have started to pop up all around the base of my moruga. I found an open one and it was full of black slimy seeds. What are these?

Maybe some sort of mushroom? After a lot of rain (before I switched to a better draining soil) I used to get mushrooms growing in my containers sometimes. They wouldn't be there one day and then poof next day tall gray skinny mushrooms. Soil just needs to dry out if that's what they are
Ok thanks y'all. We've had three days of steady light rain so that's probably it. As long as they don't hurt my baby lol. Shoot wouldn't they help the soil when they die off?
   Those are immature birds' nest fungi. Not a problem - they're saprophytes. In a few days, they'll open up into little bowls (nests) with clumps of spores (eggs) in them. When rain water lands in the nests, it splashes the "eggs" out and spreads them over the soil.
Perfect, thanks for quick help!
