Bit confused
, but I'll give it a go 
We're talking about Euonymus fortunei....yes?
Leaf drop issue: Were the plants well watered after planting? Newly planted shrubs need extra watering until they establish a good spread of roots into the soil. Could be a reaction to drying out.
Mushrooms: Can't see any in the pics, but probably just normal fungal growth, breaking down the bark mulch.
Stem problem: Could be mildew or Euonymus scale insect. Can't see clearly in the pics. Here's a link to the rhs page with more info....
