Pests and mushrooms in my pots

In the span of about 2-3 days suddenly my nerve plant became really droopy and the soil is getting overtaken by these little mushrooms, today I noticed there were tiny bugs all over the soil and plant, I can’t get a clear picture of them because they’re so tiny but they are round and kind of clear brown colored. How do I get rid of this and get her back to her thriving self? And should I be worried about the mushrooms? I just repotted all of my plants and believe it has to do with the soil because they are popping up in many of my other pots #Fittonia #NervePlant #PestControl #mushrooms
5” pot with drainage

It says there are no drainage holes. No drainage is a big no no, in horticulture. My guess would be that there is standing water in the bottom of that pot. I would highly suggest transplanting them into a now pot with drainage holes, and new, well draining planting medium. I personally prefer 75% coconut coir and 25% perlite. That would take care of the mushrooms forest. And my guess the bug situation. If bug problem persists, you can spray the soil with insecticide. I generally use pyrethrin. Spay 3 times. οΏΌ3 days apart. When spaying insecticides, always read instructions and safety precautions. I hope this helps.
