I swear this was not there two weeks ago. What should I do now? Replant the whole thing?

Mushrooms aren't going to hurt anything

seconding this, thyme seems to be doing fine. Might even be some mycorrhizal fungi sporing out after a big rain, nothing to worry about imo

Also a decent chance they're eating that mulch.

Agree with Athena5898 that it got too moist, thyme can dry out a smidgeon between waterings. BUT usually mushrooms aren't bad. Look at those lil guys recycling nutrients! Unless mushrooms are going absolutely crazy I see them as a good sign.

Thank you so much all of you!

Mushrooms are just the fruiting bodies of the busy fungal system beneath. If they've all popped up like that over less than two weeks, chances are they've been there a lot longer. I'd put money them being nitrogen-fixing symbiotes.

Let 'em grow, let 'em grow!

Soil got to moist. You can try to just let it dry out if the rest of the plant is fine.
