Hi there! Dunno if anyone is a mushroom expert, but these little guys sprouted up in the pot of a plant after we brought it in during a big storm. They've only been visible for a couple of days. I live in Western MA and I'd just really like to know what these are, mostly to see if they'll kill the plant or be dangerous for our cats (they don't eat stuff like that but they do sniff stuff)
I've done a little digging online but haven't found anything that looks right yet
Also if it's any clue, we grew some oyster mushrooms in the same room a while back, but it was quite some time ago and they were white, so I'm not sure that that is relevant.

one flower ring to rule them all and in the sunlightness bind them
I'd love it if you took a look at my art and my PATREON!

It looks like that first one is actually a parasitic plant! You can see the leaves and everything. Looks like Indian Pipe.

It seems really weird to awesome a post about... well, whatever the layman term is for this, but that's a cool picture and a cool bit of information.
Second one MIGHT be a type of oyster but I kind of doubt it
Most plants actually have mycorrhizal associations in their roots and use the fungus filaments to pull water and nutrients from the soil. But, this guy takes it to another level and doesn't have chlorophyll to produce food from sunlight, although as fiendishrabbit says, it's gets all it's food from a fungus, which is in a mycorrhizal relationship with a different plant getting it's energy from the sun.
here are a couple more
Not a ghost plant but still cool and I think a fungus. same tree as the "oyster" one
So Xaquin as an eat/!eat mushroom consultant still pretty much checks out.
Poor tree. I don't know what that fungus is called, but it basicly meanas that the tree is a gonner unless you cut off all infected branches.

except true gilled mushrooms and most boletes
I avoid them as a rule since I am not qualified at all to identify them*
*I probably could identify them, but realistically, I know so many edibles that I really don't feel like adding any risk when I've already got a fridge and freezer full anyway
