Mushrooms in Vivarium?

[GayJerk]

Hi all! I have a vivarium for my two subadult female Heterochaeta Orientalis (Giant African Stick Mantis) and i noticed that mushrooms have started to grow inside the vivarium. I know that usually with frogs it isn't a big deal but i was wondering if it was safe for them or if i should clean out the whole cage? It appears to be this kind of shroom:

EDIT: I've decided to redo the cage, what should i do with the sticks? Would washing them off suffice? Or should I soak them in vinegar water?

For the sticks, you should probably bake them in the oven. That kills bacteria and possible fungus that could be living in them! I'm sure there are instructions on how to bake them online or on this forum. Best of luck!
