What kind of Mushroom is this?

[mrg02d]

Hello,
I got this coral mushroom colony some time ago at the LFS. No idea what it is. Its not ricordea, as the lady wanted $20 per polyp and this whole thing was about $26.00. I should have asked, but I just pointed at it and smiled.

Here is a picture.
Thanks,

Rhodactis I believe it's called

Sure looks like Ricordea yuma to me.

I agree with Ricordia Yuma

Now that I look at the pic again I think they're right, they do look like yumas.

Ricordea yuma to me. That's a bland color for a yuma though and I can see the confusion.

Is Ricordea a type of mushroom also?

 

[m3drver]

Yes, Ricordeas are a type of mushroom coral.

Here's a pic of my Ricordea Florida

also recordea yuma is from the pacific and as Florida, from the Atlantic, may have multi mouths, yuma has only one mouth

Yea, my shrooms are ugly...My least favorite. Too bad there arent many people in my town that might want them. (They take up alot of space that could be filled with pretty stuff!)

It was an impulse buy....Oh well...It also came with a large bristle worm that disappeared.
