Your waterway is pretty shallow for fish, but you could try one of the small gold Chinese algae eaters and see if it survives. I use them in my paludarium, along with a variety of small tetras, but the aquarium section of this is deeper and bigger than yours, going from 12 inches over falls down to 6 inches in a 135 gallon tank. The better solution might be to introduce aquatic plants to shade the waterway. Algae is stimulated by light. It may take awhile, but things will adjust. Leave the mushrooms. They will add interest while they are evident, but will cycle out. Most of us are thrilled to find a mushroom fruiting out. They won't harm your frogs.
