I have this fungus growing in the planter with my ponytail palm in it. It just popped up.today. The soil is miracle gro cactus blend mix.
1. Is it harmful?
2. Is it there just because the soil is too moist?

It has dried up and started to go away or disappear. Although it looks like a little bit more may be showing up as well. I scooped up what I could with a spoon, put in a plastic bag, and threw it away.
