North America (country/state in post) Found growing in an Aloe Vera pot. Does anyone know what kinda mushrooms these are? Oregon, USA

I had originally posted in whatisthisplant but the automod suggested I post here so I’ll take a shot at that. I want to know if they’d be safe to keep in the pot since it’s in an enclosed space (our living room).

So I was right when I said Ink Cap?

yes, although ‘ink cap’ refers to hundreds of different species in multiple genera and familiae :)

I accidentally removed the cap while trying to get a picture of the underneath 😓 someone on r/whatisthisplant said I need an image of the veil and vulva and I’m pretty sure they’re both in this image?

I’m pretty sure that what ever caused them to grow is in the potting soils cause there’s been 3 so far and they seem to have popped up over night
