Agree it is some type of toadstool. Good luck with finding the type! Nice looking piece and good deal

 

[scott79]

It may be dead. Did it have any polyp extension? Is it soft to the touch?

 

[nycbob]

its not dead. if it was, it would start to melt and drip.

 

[scott79]

its defenitly not dead. thre were lots of polyps out and the shop. right before my lights turned out polyps were coming out also. i will post more pics tomorow when they are out.

Not always true. I received a dead toadstool in the mail and it never "melted". The toadstool became hard and gray.

 

[scott79]

doesnt look dead to mee! :

 

[nycbob]

toadstool is almost impossible to kill. i have one in my fowlr that was lost in the lr for weeks, only to resurface later.

Did you have it in a lot of direct flow?

 

[alexmir]

heres what i say happened...........The guy at the store either accidently ripped/cut the top off. then either glued it back on, or tried to get it to reattach, then figured he might as well sell it before it dies. The crown and the trunk part of leathers are connected and would not seperate by itself(IMO)and if it did, it would happen over time, not all of a sudden

but yes, the leather can still live after being cut in half, and the polyps may still extend.

 

[scott79]

it seemed really attached when i got it. there was even a little one on the side of the rock, that also fell off. that one was the size of a tic tac. and i have it sitting on my sand bed with very little flow.
