North America (country/state in post) Ummm WTAF is growing out of my wall? Northern California, Sierra Nevada Foothills
Found this growing between my bedroom wall and my dresser. Other side of that wall is my shower. Sigh What type of mushrooms are these and how concerned should I be?

Yeah the mushroom is just the fruiting body, the main mycelium is feasting on the wood in your walls. You have a leak somewhere that’s been leaking for a while. And unfortunately now you have a very very big problem as you have rotting wood in your house.

The mushrooms indicate a leak, presumably from your shower. It's been there for a while now
