Cabbage and Broccoli Pests

I have planted around a month ago several small plants of cabbage, broccoli, kales, and arranged also a raised beds for herbs.
1: Pests. Lately, I noticed that most of the plants had been bitten, some of them almost destroyed. I took some measures to keep slugs away, having caught at night many slugs hanging around. Now, it seems that slugs are not as numerous as before, but little holes still appear on the leaves. I uploaded some photos.
How to figure out what is attacking the plants? What should I try in order to get rid of it?
The big damages you see in the photo has been produced before the slugs were kept away, the little holes came up later.
2: Fungi. Another strange issue is that this morning some clusters of fungi appeared on top of the compost in my raised beds. Is that any good? Should I get rid of them? How? It can be of help knowing that my beds are filled with cardboards at the bottom, a layer of prunings (mainly small tree branches) and hay, also there is some nettle and on the top some coffee-grounds have been crumbled now and then.
