So I can not find a picture on the internet anywhere of what my Discosoma Mushroom is doing. It looks like it is shading itself or trying to move. I just don't know. I was hoping it would move if it wasn't happy but it just hangs out like this for over 2 weeks now. Any thoughts? It seems happy but just in a taco shape. When I glued the rock it came on down to mine I couldn't tell which way it would open up.

Hello!

I'm sorry I don't have a great answer for you, but I'll give this a bump in the hope that someone else will see it and be able to help you. If this doesn't get a reply, I would re-post this question under the general discussion forum where more members will see it 🙂

Good luck!

I have a magic carpet mushroom that does the same thing. I would say it's just how the foot is attached. As long as it's opening up, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure it will move around eventually and settle where it wants. When it moves, expect some babies.

Thank you, I figured this was the issue but I haven't had a mushroom before. I hope babies are everywhere that would be perfect where it is at.
