fiddle leaf fig fungus?! please help!

not sure what's going on but my flf i bought back in october suddenly had little "mushrooms" growing in the soil, i picked out (total of 3-4) over the last 6 weeks. since then i've had new leaves develop at the top of the plant, but they've grown in with red spots/brown edges and a faded green color. it's in the same pot i purchased it in, i don't see any overgrown roots coming through the bottom of the pot & i've only used either distilled or purified drinking water 1x/week. only thing different is i moved it to another south-facing room in the house, but there's no cold draft as far as i can tell. wondering if it's a fungus/worm or is it in "shock" from my moving it? is it ok to maybe fertilize once or twice this month to help it recover, even though it's not in growing season? And should I remove the affected leaves? any help is greatly appreciated!
