Going to place an order here and I am looking at the Ricordea mushrooms I see you only get one polyp will these mushrooms spread in my tank like other mushrooms? Should I buy more than one to help the chance of them spreading?

there's a few that sell rics on the boards, you might want to look them up to see what they have. you might find some nice ones. as for them growing, i have a few and they seem to be doing nicely. a couple of them have multiplied, but for the most part, they've just gotten bigger.

Great I will look around I love these shrooms but I don’t know anything about them I am thinking about maybe getting (4) total 2 of one and 2 others how big are they getting in your setup how long have you had them?

i bought some orange ones about 3 mo ago and they are rocking. i got them about quarter size, and now one of them is a little bigger than a silver dollar, and the other has split twice. the blue ones i bought have doubled in size, one died cause i tried splitting it on my own. didn't go so well. i've got them in a 15 gal nano w/ compact lighting and feed them about once a week or so. i'll try and find who sells them on here and they could tell you more then i can.

They are cool, but are not nearly as fast of a grower as your typical mushroom. I'd go with several and let them spread from there.
