Wow, your plants have really grown and they look very good


My guess with your toadstool issue is possibly the soilless mix used contains some sort of manure or organics when wet create the perfect evviroment for fungi.
If you are using a granular organic fertilizer then this is somewhat normal.

Ample moisture with the addition of organic material is the perfect environment for fungi.

Usually fungi cause no harm and is more unsightly than anything..

Your cure is to let the soil try out and refresh your soilless mix this spring.
Or for fast results replace the top two inches of soil in your container with a fresh mix.
