Tiny Fugi Sprouting in My Plant Pots

I was tidying up my collection of potted plants when I noticed what I thought were loose pebbles next to one of the smaller pots. When I went to flick them away I noticed their fleshy texture. Having a closer look (with my glasses on) I realized they were tiny mushrooms sprouting from the drainage holes on the pot. The potting mix contains composted pine bark and I would imagine that's what the fungi is growing from.

There were three of them and the individual caps ranged from 13mm to 16mm across. Make sure you look at the large version of the last shot and see if you can spot a little visitor. I did not see it until I saw the photos on the computer screen.
