How can I upload images in node from a POST request

I want to store data and images to my mongo DB from a POST request, but I can't figure it out how. In the request body I have JSON structure like this:

{
   "email":"[email protected]",
   "name":"Asd",
   "shrooms":[
      {
         "name":"Agaricus bisporus",
         "time":"Fri Mar 19 11:11:25 GMT+01:00 2021",
         "gps":"46.25098652819107,20.149517092792898",
        "img1":"Base64 Encoded",
        "img2":"Base64 Encoded" 
     },
     {
         "name":"Unknown",
         "time":"Fri Mar 19 11:11:25 GMT+01:00 2021",
         "gps":"46.25098652819107,20.149517092792898",
        "img1":"Base64 Encoded",
        "img2":"Base64 Encoded" 
     }
   ]
}

And based on the shroom names I want to upload the images in separate folders. I have a router :

router.post('/autoUpload/:tourID', ctrlTour.autoUpload);

In tour.component.js I do a lot of stuff with that data, but I don't know how to upload the Base64 Encoded images.

Untill now I just uploaded the file to my website, and the frontend sent multiple requests, and the images were uploaded by multer like this.

router.post('/uploadShroom', uploadShroomImage.single('shroomImg'), ctrlShroom.postShroomImage );
router.post('/uploadNamelessShroom',uploadNamelessShroomImage.single('namelessShroomimg'), ctrlNamelessShroom.postNamelessShroomImage);

I want it to be automatic, so a POST request can do all the work. Is there any way to call this middleware from a controller class, or how should I upload multile images to multiple paths?

The correct approach here would be to save the image in cloud storage e.g aws s3 and save its location in mongo db rather than trying to save the image.
