Do mushrooms cross breed?

[zoie2]

Not sure if breed is the right word, but you get the question. I have this green mushroom, then I bought some red mushrooms with purple dots, and now I have this redish/green mushroom with purple spots.
Is it a cross ot the two? Do mushrooms do that?

redish/ green spotted new mushroom ( I didn't buy)

Its not a great picture but you can see it looks like the red ones, but kinda green.

I think it might be the way the light is hitting on it. My blue mushrooms look different sometimes depending on how the light hits them.
BTW if you ever decide to frag any of those red ones with the purple dots please let me know. Those are the ones I have been looking for! We can do a thermos trade. I have blue and Green Rhodactis mushrooms to trade.

I don't think it's the lights because it's greenish under all different lights (flash light, actnatic light, day light etc.) and when it shrinks it's even greener.

I don't know I think it's knida wierd.
Do you have pictures of your mushrooms? I am new to fraging. I have so far only done my star polyps which is as easy as it gets, but I would like to try. I just don't have anyone to trade with.
Where do you live? I'm in mA.

This is the first time I read about them crossbreeding. I would think that the people who have lots of different mushrooms in their tanks would have seen this too. It just looks to me that since this particular mushroom is shadowed by the light in the last pics. Anyways, here are some pictures of my blue ones and the Green Rhodactis. For the blues, you can see that the color is different on them depending on how my lights hit them. They look green when they are closed up and the lights first come on then turn blue.

Here are the Green Rhodactis. When these guys eat (which don't have to be hand fed) they close up and look like an onion!
