They suddenly sprouted in my plant's pot this week.

This one looks quite a bit like shaggy parasol to me aka Chlorophyllum rhacodes. It's pretty weird that they grew out of a plant pot, usually that is reserved for Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. I suppose if you gathered soil from outside for the plant you may have accidentally gathered some spores that go well with the roots of the plant. Another thing to test is to slightly cut the stem on one and see if it turns red or bruises with a color of some sort.
Oh looks like you're right about the ID. The soil came from a potting mix, which I hadn't changed since more than a year and hadn't shown mushrooms before. Perhaps the spores were carried by wind through my window.
Spores are tricky they activate at just the right condition many years later. Chances are they were in the soil already. Maybe they like hibiscus roots.
This is Amanita sp., but I I cant be more precise, its hard to choose from variety of certain species, they all look the same for me, and I not a mycologist to see the minimal distinctive touches.
the pot was located indoors, right?and mushrooms decided it has a suitable environment to pop-up, all of a sudden. thats amazing case, indeed!

Thanks for the welcome!
Yes it was indoors, I'm intrigued about what made it pop-up suddenly, it was a fiun surprise.
I can imagine! hehe. as sketch-and-jam noted, it could happen due to the soil was taken from forest?.. is that the case?
It was not! I used cheap potting soil from the store. The spores could have come in from the window.
lol: now you know where do they get the stuff to sell you :)))
(well, just kidding).
in fact, it is an interesting question where do mushrooms come from, to which there is no universal answer. yes, spores can be carried by the wind, flies and other insects that crawled over the mushroom. and the mycelium can develop and doze in the soil for years (!) until suddenly something changes and the environment shifts in the direction that the mycelium considers favorable for reproduction. and then it grows a fruit body, and we say: oops, a mushroom has grown! .. something like that. everything is nonlinear. - !ENGAGE 50
True, these mushrooms mycellium may have been doing its mycellium things for a great long while before they sprouted.
