I have six pots with plants. I noticed on one of the pots something starting growing on top and I’m not sure what it is.

It appears to be mushrooms, fruiting bodies from a fungal organism growing in the organic matter. It is not likely to be pathogenic/harmful, just opportunistic and part of the decomposition process
