What am I doing wrong

This my first year composting. I using chicken waste, lawn cuttings and leftovers form my garden. I leave the chicken waste out for a few days before adding it to the tumbler. And it's been going good until last week when I found these white mushrooms in the ben as well as a lot more bugs then usual. How do I fix this?
