I turned the light on and noticed it looked like there was something on it. And also you can kind of see there is some bubble stuff on the rock. Not sure if that's bubble algae? Can someone give me some advice.

cant really tell but looks shrinked and closed which is not a good sign.. I would start by posting in the Corallimorpharians forum for better advice... Also post ur params, NO3, PO4, Ca, Alk, Mg, SG, temp, lighting and water current conditions...

The picture is too small. They do look shrivled. If you just turned the lights on, first thing in the morning, they will open up as the day progresses. As celamb89 asked, post your tank's specifications. In my experience, mushrooms prefer lower light and currents.

I second too much flow. And that's a bad picture, but I do think that's bubble algae.

Mushrooms are extremely hardy, but too much flow will stress and kill them over time. If you adjust the flow and that doesn't help, keep an eye on your fish. You may have something picking at them
