Default Chocolate Milipede and mushroom/toadstools

Hi
I've just noticed that ove a mushroom/toadstool growing in my milipede tub.

the substrate is a 1cm coco fiber and sterilised compost together with about 6cm leaf mould and well rotted barck chippings. I didnt sterrilize the leaf mould as it had had a good frost on it when I collected it.

The substrate is moist but not soaking wet. and i mist 2-3 times a week

Will the fungi fruiting body (mushroom/toadstool) harm the milipede?.

Millipede is about 7cm in size.

Any help/advice would be welcome

I often feed my millies on mushroom and they love them.

Depends on the fungi. Considering where millipedes live, I'd guess not, however I'm no milli expert.
