a mushroom in the soil!!

Hi everyone,

I have a Nepenthes alata I have been growing for about 2 years now, it's huge and healthy and I love it to death...

Well today when I was going to water it I saw a mushroom or fungus of some sort growing from the soil!! The nep is growing in long fibered sphagnum moss. Is this a bad sign, or is it harmless? I am kind of nervous because fungus makes me think of root disease. I also have a Drosera in a tiny little pot, and when I water it, I water it over the Nep, letting the excess water go into the Nep's soil......I didn't think it would do any harm, I thought it woud be a good way to not waste my distilled water. Well the mushroom has grown in the spot that I usually water the Drosera over.

I will post pics as soon as I edit them in photoshop
