    Got a question concerning some green fuzzy mushroom . It really overgrew and got very crowded on a small rock. The many shrooms on the rock have started shrinking and it appears to have black roots or tubes growing from underneath and now stretching up to the light . Anyone ever experienced This ?? Thanks :confused:

    If they're overcrowded, they are most likely competing for light. Since it sounds like you have Rhodactis sp., do you feed them at all?
