Have been told the mushrooms in my tank are just regular mushrooms by LFS and fellow R2R’ers while I was looking for care advise. Is there a mushroom coral and a mushroom, plain old mushroom? Or two the same?
Difference between mushroom and mushroom?

Maybe I worded it wrong, are they all corals? Are they all of the same... species? If that’s the right way to ask....
If I look up care for a mushroom coral will that cover my mushrooms?

Correct, they are all corals. Here's some good info on them.

There are mushrooms (which are corallimorphs), these are squishy and related to anemones rather than corals but still considered corals for simplicity. They are easy to care for and great beginner corals, often hitchhiking on LR.
Mushroon corals of the family Fungiidae are true stony corals that come in a variety of shapes and sizes with the most common being fungia, cycloseris, and herpolitha. These are harder to care for but not explicitly expert corals. Although fairly common withing their distributed range they are rarely encountered as hitchhikers
