Hi, I think this is a Coprinopsis type mushroom. Is it? If so then a decomposer, a result of the decaying mulch in bed. So what to do, just pull them and remove any dead wood. Seems that after a rain there is quite a lot of them. Please advise?

Those look like the inky caps I have sprouting up all over when I first mulch a bed. They are doing good work. They will soon melt away. I wouldn't worry about them one bit. And why would you want to remove the dead wood? Let it rot down.
