Is it in the mulch? Fungi are common in mulch. Fungi usually appear where there is moisture and shade. Remove the fungi to the trash. Reduce watering and reduce mulch if you have more than 2 or 3 inches down. Are the plants getting the proper amount of sun? Check the light requirements of each plant.
