I have this come up all in my mulch when it's been rainy. I think they are also called Artillery Fugus because they will shoot their spores out. Look for little black dots on the undersides of you plant leaves and on the side of you house. They can be a big problem getting on you house if you have a light-colored siding or paint where they show up badly. Shouldn't harm your bananas, though.
