What are these horrible spores growing in my houseplant? Spore pictures included!

Picture 1, picture 2. Help?

It's a little hard to tell, but they might be Lepiota lutea, aka flower pot parasols. Check out this link...

That's probably Lepiota lutea, a mushroom commonly found in potting mix. It's harmless to your plant.
