Hey guys I noticed these lighter spots on my Sunkist bounce. Anyone know what they are or what’s happening? Should I be worried?

Hard to say what that could be for sure but something is irritating the mushroom. I would inspect the plug at night to see if there is anything under the mushroom when it is closed up. How long have you had this mushroom? How intense is the lighting? Have you checked all your major water params? Alk, Ca, Mg, pH, Nitrates, PO4

I'm not sure what you mean by lighter spots. The yellow bubbles are lighter in areas? Lighter somewhere else on the mushroom?

Looks worse now. Looks bleached, but it’s in a shaded area. I’ve noticed that my cardinal has been hanging around it. Not sure if it’s picking at it
