Does anybody know why these mushrooms are sprouting with my parsley seedlings? Note: this is not their final home and they are being repotted together soon. Any suggestions on how to remove them or if they are harmful? Thank you!

don't worry about em! they're there because the soil you're using is rich and moist and full of nutrients (just what your seedlings need). If they bother you, pull them out, but out in nature where there is good stuff in the dirt, the mushrooms will be there eating it.

Thank you!! That’s super helpful! I was worried that I was doing something wrong 🙂

you're doing fine! mushrooms can indicate that there is too much water in the soil, but they also just pop up where things are good. your surface looks nice and dry and the seedlings look healthy so it's not the case here.
And welcome to Permies, Selena! look forward to seeing your seedlings grow up!
