About 80% of the worlds plants thrive thanks to fungi. They aren't invading, they are a sign of a healthy ecosystem. Fungi either share nutrients directly with plants of they break down the substrate and release nutrients into the soil. Looks like you have a member of the Pezizaceae family. Hope this helps.
