Mushrooms in my flower pots

Am a beginner gardener but have always had reasonable success with containers. This year three of my pots planted with tulips are growing transparent stemmed mushrooms with black tops. Don’t know what to do. Should I dig them out or zap them with something? As the pots are home to bulbs I assume I shouldn’t be re- potting them…? Help!

They’ll just be little fungi breaking down the organic matter in the compost into a form that can be accessed by the roots of your plants. Nothing to worry about. Any day now they’ll deliquesce and disappear, dissolving into the compost and adding nutrients.
