    Sponge. The hole in front is a dead give away. Intake (or exit, I never can remember) for the water that it filters for nutrients.

    You can take a brush and gently brush it off if it is a bother to the mushroom or you dont like it there. If any trace is left it will grow back in the same spot, and the brushed off particles will land and grow elsewhere.
