WTF roots!!!!

OK, weird. I was playing with putting 2 inches of sand on top of my dirt for bug control. (I'm a chick. I hate bugs) I went to repot two of my plants because I had one in a big pot and even they are all from the same moms, that one has leaves that are twice the size. So. Bigger pots right? First crazy thing, I covered the pot that had some dirt in it last night so it wouldn't dry out too much. I took the tarp off and there was this crazy 5 inch mushroom there that grew over night. Ok then, when I tipped the plant in the small pot and the sand came off there was all this crazy root stuff there. It kind of looks like the roots grew up and through the sand. They've been drinking and growing like crazy the last few days. The third picture is a close up of the top of the dirt where the sand came off.

One more and the mushroom.

yeah sand is soil so of course the roots are going to grow in it
