What should I do ? I found a mushroom in my Siam Ruby pot which is in side my house. Is it a bad thing ?

yes like pete says can be a very good thing! that means there is good moisture in the area thus ideal for your banana plant!

It should be fine. There are so many kinds of mushrooms. Most are poisonous. Some are edible. As long as it doesn't make large clouds of sooty dust or pollen like I had after using coffee grounds you should be fine.:bananas_b

That's not one that I'm familiar with. I mean, it's not one which is easily distinguishable enough for an untrained person to identify. I looked through some of my books, but found a lot that were close.
It may or may not be mycorrhizal, but it can help feed the plant by breaking down the substrate.
Shouldn't be anything to worry about, but I would move it outside while it sporulates.

I've had one with my Musa Florida. Suspect it's poisonous Removed it a couple of times and it "returned" but now it's gone. Florida is doing fine:) so I think your Siam will be ok:)

The mushroom looks like a decomposer which should break down the the planting medium and release some nutrients for the plant.
