Slimy waxcap toadstool infestation

I have a timber planter lined with plastic sheet with drain holes that drain well.
I have a mix of purchased bag top soil and multi purpose compost.
I have primroses with a recently planted honey suckle and sweet peas grown in loo rolls.
The sweet peas aren't growing very well atall.
Recently I have been pulling out silky waxcap toadstools.
Could some kind fellow gardener please advise me what to do as I am in fear that I will lose all the plants.
Many thanks
Col

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Honeysuckles get very big, and sweet peas need lots of food and water. Primroses just need moisture and shade and little else.
Seeing to their needs appropriately is more important than what the little fungi are doing
I'd take the sweet peas out of those loo rolls, and plant them if they've got enough roots.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Do come back and ask away if you’re not sure of stuff. We like to help. 😊
