    My red mushroom in the middle of the picture is usually fully extended and about 3 inches across, the past couple days it has been real droopy looking. About 2 weeks ago it dropped little red mushrooms below it that seem to be doing great but there is this clear "mushroom like thing" next to the big one. It has a base like the mushroom and a circle shaped top but its clear. Is it a mushroom with no color?? Or something else?

    Mushrooms are a weird thing. I have probably 20 individual mushrooms of about 4 or 5 different species, and sometimes just a single shroom will be shriveled up while the other 19 are just fine. It's a personality thing I guess. ;)

    Well, that might just be a possibility. I've never shipped any living thing before in my entire life, but if I can get a frag I'm willing to give it a shot.

    Yep, just a red mushroom that hasn't colored up yet. They tend to do that when they get shaded. Have the exact same thing going on with a red mushroom in my tank.
