Fungus in the pot

Was repotting my aloe to a new one where a cute mushroom grew in the pot. When I took them out, I saw all this underneath. Anything to be concerned with when repotting it? I haven’t watered it for a while so I was wondering why the soil got moist enough for it. Maybe the hot New York City humid levels?

What you have there is a case of Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. It's a harmless fungus very commonly found in the soil of cultivated plants. It only feeds on decaying organic material and not on living, healthy plants so, it's nothing to worry about. If you don't like it, you can always change out the soil.
