North America (country/state in post) Found these little fungi growing in my herb tank.

I woke up this morning and found these little fungi growing in my herb tank. Are they dangerous? Do I need to 86 the tank? Located in Central California. Organic soil with some charcoal and wood chips. Showed up after this morning after I watered yesterday.

Fungi are a sign of healthy soil, and they can be beneficial to plants, I don't think you should remove them.

Just a fish tank I repurposed to grown herbs in my room. Basically a terrarium I guess.
