Well mushrooms are one of the few corals that don't require a lot of light as a matter of fact if you have intense light you should but them at the bottom of your tank or in less intense area of light. They are great for beginners. Now Im not saying that the cheapest light will do but you definitely don't need a super powered light such as the MH. I would go with the VHO for lighting. 20k and actinic would be good, IMO, they may even be more than you need to some people.
