Are my shrooms too close to the light?

[bohle]

I bought a rock that had mushrooms on it. It was actually a nice rock to finish off the top of my structure. I have noticed that each of my mushrooms kind of have like a white film on them near the center almost like fuzz. I am running 260w powercompacts. Do I have the mushrooms too close to the surface? What could be causing this. Thanks

Is there a way to take them off the rock they are on? The rock is rather big, be hard to move them down.

no not really just make sure they dont start to shrivle up they will eventually get used to the light

Can you post a picture? What lights were they under before you got them? What are your water parameters and tank setup (flow, filtration, etc)?

Well the lights they were under were just some at the LFS not really sure, my water is 0 amm, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate (my cycle just finished and I did a water change). My lights are 260watt. Also my flow is well 2x Koralia #1's and a maxijet 600 with the attachment. So like 2000gph total maybe more? I do not have the maxi running right now because I do not have really anything in there so I figured once I actually start with the whole set up no reason to have it all running. Let me go try and get a pic
