Pour bleach down all drains. They live on the mold growing there. I sometimes raise mushrooms indoors. These are a major problem. They cause the fruiting bodies to abort, misform, or become infected by other fungi carried by them.
They smell mushrooms before they emerge, so elimination is a must. They don't eat much, tho😀.

they were all coming from what use to be an indoor plant, it's been banished to the smoke and ash outdoors..........

And a fungal organism on the dead plant. Ahh, the logic. Our house plants came in, along with an assortment of 'bugs', for the winter. Collecting good. Spiders a-plenty.

Good shots! You can see where the compound eyes narrowly join each other across the top of the head.

Excellent shots and the second it the pick-of-the-litter. I'm highly impressed with your high magnification ability.
