Should I be concerned for these mushrooms growing on the shell of my coco?

There are two mushrooms growing inside the crack of the coconut shell of my young palm. I understand that fungi is part of nature and decomposition. However, does anyone know if I need to worry about this particular one or the place that it is?

Looks quite normal and fine. Nothing to worry about. There has been a few discussions on palm talk about fungi and palms. Most likely normal break down composition and fungi are a part of that process. Just look at mycelium in soil, a sign of a perfectly healthy environment. The only time I would be worried about fungi is when it is in a propagation media with seeds trying to germinate. And depending on  the type of fungi it may not necessarily be cause for alarm either. I guess you have to know your fungi. What we need is a mycologists that will sort it out pretty fast!
