Sometimes your biology knowledge or google just isn't enough. Do you have a picture with no idea what the thing in it is? Let's hope someone does.

That is a robber fly. We have lots of them around, and they’re usually good pest control. They can deliver a pretty painful bite, though, as I learned the hard way when trying to catch one.

Many Small Bugs In A Maple Leaf. Look Closely And You Can See The Individuals. They Lose The White Fluff After They Land. The Leaf Fell Off Tbe Tree Prematurely. They Are Not Mealworms, But I Have Not Been Able To Id Them.

I'm curious myself, I've never seen one like this! We have little white puffball looking ones but they're more round and fluffy.

That’s definitely a cherry millipede. They secrete cyanide, and I’d recommend leaving them alone because they smell REVOLTING when disturbed.

If this was store bought potting soil, be happy you have mushrooms. This means the soil is healthy and rich. I have been surprized at little clusters of light brown mushrooms in a huge Mother In Law's toungue plant I have. I freaked out because it is right next to my bed and I thought GREAT! I'm going to die of inhaling Alien Spores From Hell and they name a wasting disease after me. But..am told, mushrooms growing mean your plants is very happy and they are good for the soil. I wouldn't recommend eating them, ever. You don't know what they are and you're watering the plant with tap water. There is stuff in the perlite and soil and fertilzer. Just, no. Enjoy the extra bonus Life and let it do its thing.

If you use a photo editor to view it in negative you can see a little bit of a possible second 'o' on wood. Spent about 30min googling stuff and came up with nothing 😔
