I just checked my Centennial Hop plant I have in a bucket growing and I noticed a white colored sprout forming at the base of the plant. Any ideas as to what this is or if it is just a new bine forming?

Thanks. Yea, I'll probably cut back on the watering if I'm getting mushrooms. The plant itself appears to be healthy, knock on wood... I have been watering about twice a week with about 2 liters of water per bucket. The buckets have perforations at the bottom for drainage.
