I have tried several nights in a row to harvest the nightly mushrooms up in the ruins area. I've tried spending the day nearby and also just arriving at night. Not having any luck. Any ideas?

It takes a couple of hours for things to grow. So try going earlier and let her sleep on the bench near the ruins (in the gazebo). My sim had some growing in her garden, she was harvesting everything, I thought she had more time but at 5Am the option to pick them was gone. So I think you have to have the timing right. While she's sleeping click on them often, very often, until you can harvest them.
