Mushrooms are easy keepers. Some will tolerate lots of light other will not most are not too choosey. Just give them a few days to acclimate and get used to different water, lights etc.......theyw ill get balled up., curled up, wrinkled up , shrunk up and all kids of other weird things........but don't despair its just the mushroom thing.......They are pretty darn hardy and will take a lot without hurting them. I dropped one (nice blue) and thought it fell back in the tank......well it was stepped on numerous times while i was searching for where that shroom went.......then the wife spotted it on the floor, covered in lint and doggie hair......wiped it up best we could, placed it in tank, and next moring it was looking a bit perkier, and within a few more days you could not tell anything ever happened to it.........No real need to add additional food, as they are photosynthetic.......Top make more slice them directly through ther center making sure each piece has a portion of the mouth.......they recover good.
I acquired a nice shroom, that was huge, and on its attached rock base it had another small white shroom, totally devoid of any color...just white........It was being shaded by the large shroom and how it was placed in the tank it never got any light........since it was still firm and not rotted we separated it off the rock, and placed it in a good spot.........sufficient light not too strong, no flow.....It is now doing pretty good and is a weird color, but it stretches and pumps itself up, and the mouth is a light lime green with the outer portion still a white color.........So just give those shrooms some time and they will be ok.
