Mystery Growth Identification

An indoor aloe plant develops strange stalked growths with rounded tops in the soil - largest ~1 inch tall with smaller clusters nearby.

These are saprophytic fungi - decomposers only. Not toxic unless ingested in quantity (unlikely).

Adjust watering: Let soil dry completely between waterings to discourage recurrence.
