Help!!! I have a huge potted tree in my house and a crop of round yellow mushrooms sprang up, why and how?

Question

They are yellow and have roundish heads. I have no idea what kind they are or why they grew there. Should I remove them or leave them there. Does anyone know what they might be?

Additional Details

Its a small cluster of 4 mushrooms.

I see this often in plants whose leaves tend to cover the entire top of the pot. That shade with the water you give the plant is a perfect combination for mushrooms to sprout. But, it doesn't sound as if you have the shade part of the equation. Mushrooms love a moist setting. Ease up on the water. Pull the mushrooms out and toss them.

In all chances it's because you've watered it too much. Try to let some sun get to it. And I should believe it's safe to remove those mushrooms. If it's a special kind of plant, or rare in any way, then it's better you consult with a professional.
