SpaceCadet3000 Mixed soil, covered and left to stand for 24 hours. Left a well in the middle of each pot. Day -1: Created seedling mix - slightly higher starting pH than potting mix and no insect frass. Soaked the seedling mix in mycorrhizae solution and used it to fill the wells in each pot and watered with EM-1 solution and left to stand for a further 24 hours. Day 0: Lots of warmth coming from the pots when uncovering. Poked a 1cm hole with my finger and planted the seeds. I then sprayed the top of the soil lightly with plain, filtered water which had been left to stand for 24 hours and placed a clear plastic cup on top of each planting site. The light is running at 50% power and 24" distance. Day 4: Increased light to 55% power. Target is 75% power at 18 inches by node 3 - 5, so I'll bump it up a little every time I see noticeable growth and see how it goes. Would have started adjusting later, but one is a little leggy. It stood strong when I blew at it, so I don't think it's an issue, but I'd rather slow them down, if I did increase power too early, than stretch them. Day 5: True leaves are all visible, so I've cut holes in the cups. They're all open and growing in the right direction now, so I've lowered the light to 23" distance and power to 60%. Day 6: Increased size of holes in the cups. I don't think these cups make very good propagators, so I'll look for a better option next grow. Could also be that I'm still waiting on a heater. Temps are a couple of degrees lower than I'd like. Day 7: Cut the base off the cups entirely. I've been gradually increasing power/reducing distance so now I'm at the target of 18" distance and ~75% power.

Does anyone know what type of mushroom this is growing in my soil? Probably too early to tell. Also, should I get rid of it?

Looks like a tiny saprophytic mushroom, which is common in moist, organic-rich soil. It’s too early to ID the exact type, but it’s not harmful to your plant. That said, it’s still a good idea to remove it. Mushrooms like this can be a sign that your soil is staying too wet or your humidity is running high. Gently pull it out, avoid disturbing the soil too much, and let the top layer dry a bit more between waterings. Improving airflow can also help keep them from coming back.

SpaceCadet3000 Day 8: Top dressed about 1/4 TSP of Great White Mycorrhizae around the base of each plant before watering. They still look like they are stretching a bit, but now the cups are removed and I've pointed fans at them, so hopefully they'll get a bit sturdier to compensate. Day 9: Covered top of soil with activated EM-1 spray. Continued spraying with plain water until all dry spots were damp and the myco was blended well with the soil. I'll assume the fungi are the fruiting bodies of something in the Great White mix, although I was led to believe that the types of myco used in living soil don't typically produce fruiting bodies like this and it's more likely from one of the substrate ingredients. Either way, neglecting them for a day lets them shrivel up and die under the heat of the LED lamp. I was spraying the top of the soil with water whenever it dried, which probably caused over-increase in humidity and encouraged growth. Not sure the best method for managing moisture levels when watering by hand in living soil, so I was just lightly misting whenever the top layer was dry. Apparently this is too much. I'll just use the same approach as I would with outdoor plants and water it when it looks like it needs water, instead of sticking to any kind of routine.
