I repotted my Drosera today because I've noticed tiny little black mushrooms growing on the media.

I unpotted the plant and soaked the ball into water and pulled the clumps apart. Then I tried to clean off most of the media but there were still some because it was way too difficult to remove. I planted it into sphagnum moss because it was easier to work with.

After...

Did I just screw up my plant or is it fine?

I did thst with mine a while back and they looked the same way so i babied mine for a while and theyve bounced back fine... give them a little time and you should start seeing some new growth.
