2 months you are done your cycle I would think don't worry about the damsel now. We have all done things we should not have in this hobby. At least he is still alive.
Test your water you should have no Ammonium and no NO2 with maybe a bit of NO3. If that is the case you can add something just remember to do it slowly and not too much at ones. Give it time to adjust.
Also some animals need your tank to be running for at least a few months. Do some reading and try to figure out what you want and what can live together. Not everything can.
As far as the mushrooms it's up to you what you want to do with those.

Oh if your cleaner shrimp is still alive your cycle is done he would be the first to go.

I was also told to use a damsel to cycle my tank.I put him in a month after starting and he lived till the day I gave him away and still lives in a friends tank.I dont think a tank 2 moths in should have any problem at all.Its not about time really more about the levels.I started a tank with all cycled rock that left the water for 15 sec at best and started stocking that day.NO losses so just depends on how much die-off there was initially.Clint

Thank Clint and Marlin for your input.

I have been checking the levels since day 1 and ammonia has and nitrite have stayed at 0 - nitrate at about 5.
