Question Ricordea vs Mushroom?

Could someone explain what makes a mushroom a ricordea? Differences between a regular mushroom and a ricordea.

The reason I am asking, I bought a rock with a bunch of hairy mushrooms on it. The kid working there was like yeah it's got 2 kinds of mushrooms. The second kind look very much like the
ricordea they were selling for $35 each.

Here's a picture. I think one is a frilly mushroom and the other is a hairy mushroom. Thoughts?
