I have small yellow mushrooms growing in my moss rose roots. Phallic in shape. Plain Potting soil. What is it?

They just popped up. Odd lemon-yellow mushrooms. No visible gills. Caps close to the stem. At Most 1 and 1/2 inches high, 1/2 in wide at the widest part of the cap. Tiny, lighter-yellow spots on the caps.

    They are Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. The caps will open up and flatten out as they mature. They are hard to get rid of but you can try a fungicide. They will not hurt you or your plant though. But I would not recommend eating them.
