It’s not in a spot that I can get a different angle for a better pic, but it appears to have a small stalk, and the head is about the diameter of a pencil eraser. Doesn’t seem to be bothering the mushroom that it’s next to, but I’d rather pull it sooner than later if it’s something invasive and undesirable.

The mushroom next to it… you mean mom? :)
That would be cool. I think. Especially because I got that mushroom for free. Looked like a shriveled up pea, but I figured I’d give it a shot. Disappeared days later, only to be found about 2 months after that during some tank maintenance. It’s since grown to about the size of a quarter.
 

Good trouble: Have mushrooms ever become pests in your aquarium?
