Onions Have Mites Or Fungus

3 years ago I had small white insects in the stalks of my onions and garlic. The stalks turned brown. The onions were ok for awhile , didn’t store well The base became soft. I blamed straw maybe having mites. Now 3 years later I am still having the same problem. I don’t see any insects. I have covered with protective cloth.
