My wife discovered a mushroom in the bathroom yesterday.
We have a two-story colonial in a fairly most part of the country.
The mushroom was growing out of the corner formed by the floor, the bathtub, and the wall. It wasn't too big, but it's still worrisome.
Does it necessarily indicate that we have a huge problem on our hands?
Anyone suggest what type of contractor to hire to look into mold/ fungus problems?
TIA
It means excessive moisture, mold and rotted wood to feed the plant. Start by opening the area and pouring in laundry bleach to kill what is rotting the wood under the tub.
You could try something like this.
Check for slow or intermittent leaks. Chances are good you have one. Stop the moisture and the fungus/mold will be history.

Hell, make the soup right in the tub.
You are the contractor. Mold can form when the humidity is 55% or more. The spot you describe just might be where your shower curtain rests? Is it on the side where the faucets are? Likely a leak nearby.
