They are still quite young, but it looks like Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. It may be toxic to consume, but it will not harm your plant to leave them in soil. They are quite good at breaking down organic matter into raw nutrients for your plant. They can help fight off bad infections, as well.

There is no real reason to get rid of this particular mushroom, though if you still choose to, this article will help:
