Mushrooms in indoor container garden

Hi. Yellow mushroom in my vegetable container garden, in a different room from my cannabis grow.
Can I still eat the vegetables?
Will it be bad if it spreads to my cannabis pots?
I think it is a Leucocoprinus birnbaumii

Your plants will be fine. Your vegetables too. The fungus is just breaking down organic matter into more usable forms for the plant. So the mushrooms aren't going to cause problems. The fungus helps the plant. Win, win. I like seeing mushrooms in the garden, they're a sign that you have rich and healthy soil.

I had Plantpot Mushrooms in both of my poinsettias once. I'd rip them out but they'd grow right back. I finally eradicated them after a year-long battle.

a little off at a tangent, but ive just found a small oak tree growing in my black domina plant pot in the tent, it was hidden under the shade leaves.

Mushrooms vary immensely in terms of conditions and preferences. Usually its a great sign, but on more rare occasion it can be related to overly wet soils with too much food in them. Just keep vigilant about those things and you'll be fine.

Back when I could get my hands on spores, I grew these huges cakes in pyrex dishes and then I would use the spent mycellium as soil for my cannabis. This worked great but I never did see as much as a rogue shroom. Trichoderma kills the shroom mycellium. Old Tricky Ricky is a real pain in the ass.

Im using old composted Stropharia substrate mixed with composted manure and such for my plant, was hoping there was still some active spawn, no such luck..

I started some seeds and found these growing in one of the pots. I was happy to see them in my recycled soil..

Cute little buttons, do you know the taxonomy by any chance? Should do a spore print for shits and giggles, never know, multitudes of new species are found every year

I thought it might be Parasola Plicatilis but I'm not sure. I do have those growing in the yard sometimes and the soil had been sitting in a wheelbarrow outside for awhile. It was a bunch of recycled soil from a bunch of different pots I mixed together. Some had been sitting outside for some time as well. It's a good sign that the soil is alive so I'm happy to see them.

Mushrooms are alway a good sign of healthy matter..

Parasola Plicatilis...hmm tough to tell by the photo, it could be..maybe a Lepiota Lutea or a Russula species
I doubt Russula though because they're a genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi that forms associations with trees. Anyway, it's too early to guess what they are until they grow past the button stage IMO.
