Why is my clown kissing the 'shrooms?

I have 2 juvenile false percs and one of them has been seen "kissing" a couple of my mushrooms on the mouth. There's about 3 different colors of shrooms on this one rock, but she only bothers the green ones. They're just plain 'shrooms, nothing fuzzy, frilly, or fancy. She will hover an inch or two above it vertically, then dart down and nip it in the center of the mouth once and go back to hovering over it, then will repeat the process several times. She does this to both of the green 'shrooms, but one seems to be the main object of her affection/abuse, but neither of them look bothered or torn up. Any ideas as to what this ritual might be?

She doesn't do this anywhere near feeding time, so I don't think so (unless she's feeding it regurgitated mysis, but I haven't seen anything transferred during the peck).

Sounds to me she is bonding with the shrooms, You should see mine with my Rics! Very funny to watch!
