These have bright yellow mouths and look like they could be a ricordia, but I know there are hundreds, if not thousands of different shrooms.
Please ID.
Got this rock with 22 polyps for $25. A good deal either way :wink:
 
Nice Shrooms
So rev. you say shrooms eh? Thats a vote for each. I have just not seen any shrooms, in my short 2 yrs in this hobby, with bright tellow mouths.
What happened was the LFS owner was on vacation and he had his daughters running the store. I asked how much for the rock and she said $25, I said here's the money. They truely look and act like ricordias to me. But like I said, I only have a short time in this hobby.

Here is a very poor pic of my ricordias. Sorry it's so fuzzy but you can see the yellow/green mouth in the top one. I believe this is what you have. HTH
 
Looks like them, except not so profound stripes. Just can't believe I got a (20) polyp ricordia colony for 25 bucks! Right place at the right time I guess.
 
Yep, awesome deal. I got about six polyps for 30 bucks.

Oh, they aren't really striped, it's just the crappy pic making them look that way. They aren't laying flat on the rock.

Even 6 for 30 is a good deal!

These don't lay flat either, like most shrooms. I say most, cuz there is always an exception to the rule. Their posture, if you can call it that, is very similar to my other Yuma and Florida rics.
