Looks like Rhodactis Inchoata(Tongan Bullseye Mushroom) or maybe Discosoma neglecta(Umbrella mushroom), the latter can get pretty big sometimes. I think it is a Bullseye mushroom rock though. It is a awesome looking shroom rock. Congrats.

Your SOOOO addicted Max.......LOL
Many will know better than I would but to me it looks like some fancy camera work.
Not saying photoshop, but definatley heavy handed with the actinics for the photoshoot.
I would steer clear personally unless from a repuatable source based on Pics alone.

I agree, way to much blue lighting in that tank, that can make anything look good.

I can do pretty good with stonies and LPS, but wen it comes to Mushrooms I am not as strong so please take my opinion as just that.
I probably have 10 different kinds of mushrooms around the tank and I just refer to them as the blue ones, red ones, or frilly ones ect.
I think under mood lights and some soft ambient lighting for pic sharpness I could recreate that pic with common shroom colonies I have.
Buyer beware when something is listed as "rare"
Max- they from the Bay again? lol you addict!

I could tell from the photo they were using actinics for the photo, but still pretty cool looking, they will be here on Tue or Wed, I'll post photos of what they actually look like

Pretty damn sweet looking. Hope they look as good in your tank. I saw some purple/white fuzzy shrooms at the LFS a while back but they were already sold :/

Guys I hate to say this, but the shrooms arrived today and they look exactly like the pic from the site, neon dayglow orange and white, NO PHOTO SHOP....I'm not even running actinics on the tank and they still look like the pic....total of 9 of the shrooms on a nice size rock
