Leucocoprinus birnbaumii
Leucocoprinus birnbaumii is a species of gilled mushroom in the family Agaricaceae. It is common in the tropics and subtropics, but in temperate regions frequently occurs in hothouses and flowerpots, hence its common names of plantpot dapperling and flowerpot parasol. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are poisonous, if consumed.
This grew in a potted palm tree on my porch.
Thank you auntnance123!! After reading this I am glad I put it outside away from my pets.
