Nightly Mushrooms / Birds not helping / Plants dying

Is anyone else having these issues?:
Nightly Mushrooms: I found many Nightly Mushroom mounds, but no matter what time of evening (showing up just before 5am), and even trying to cheat the mounds into being "mature", I can't seem to harvest them! Other mushroom mounds will spawn and when I pick them, my Sim will get a Spicy or Charming or other mushroom, but never a Nightly Mushroom! Why have Nightly Mushroom mounds around Bramblewood, if they remain dirt mounds forever? This feels like a huge tease.
Birds: I've befriended birds and bought a Bird Tree and placed it in the center of my garden plots, and the birds agreed to help my garden. A couple of days after planting fruits and veggies, they suddenly become infested with bugs! I see the birds flying around, but the surrounding garden plots just remain bug infested and my Sim spends hours spraying each one down. How is this supposed to work? Am I missing something?
Plants dying: Not long after planting a few plots of Fruit, Veggies and Herbs (maybe a day or two), suddenly my Sim will wake up in the morning to many plants that are dead with a green cloud around them. They were weeded, watered, and in a normal state - and in season - but they just died! I did a search and someone said you can cheat the plants back to a healthy state by Shift+clicking them and setting their state to "on track" - but takes a while to do that with every dying plant.
** Dealing with the bug infestations and recovering all the dying plants is wasting a lot of my Sim's day (she can't afford a Gardener to help out), and not being able to harvest Night Mushrooms is keeping me from finishing Errands I'm trying to accomplish. I really loved the idea of these "quests" since I'm a huge fan of RPGs, but this Night Mushroom issue is driving me crazy! **
Anyone else having these issues and can offer any help?
I'm desperate for any advice!

Bird/bunny help with crops I'm still working on, but it does seem they'll prioritze oversized crops over regular ones.
The plants dying I think is a known bug...
I think this is the right AHQ thread

I used the link to hit the "Me too" button. This has totally borked gardening in the game for me. It's a shame too seeing as how almost all of my sims are gardeners.
