While doing a routine visit to one of the locals in Portland I ran across some of the most incredible rhodactus mushroom colonies. In the 2nd colony pic the ring is so purple it is just awesome. :wink:

Do you like????? Made my mouth water!!!!

The shocking part for me is they really were purple. A lot of times the coral only looks purple under certain lighting, but not these. They really are as purple as shown.
 
Yes, I like, that is quite a find. Looks like you could shave a tiny one off and send it my way (I'm a reluctant zoa collector, but a closet mushroom collector, and Rhodactis are my favorites)!
 
Very cool color combo's - nice find.

Might be good to move this to the MUSHROOM forum. Some of those guys might like to look at it also. ;)
 
Those are real nice Perry....Even a squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.


I think the quote is "Even a BLIND squirrel finds a nut every once in a while":bigsmile:

I too like zoas and the other corals, but there is a certain beauty to a nice rock full of mushrooms. My favorite Rhodactis mushroom of all time was Purple, blue, green and white (rings) ...I kick myself quite often that I can't find the only picture I ever had of it as the mushroom simply disappeared one day. My only hope is that when transferring things from my 65 gallon bow to the new 120 gallon tank I find it hidden in the rockwork in the back.

You are quite right......I said it to myself a few times and thought that it wasn't quite right....I figured I would edit it once it came to me, but you beat me to it....

We used to have a few shops here Kalamazoo that would get nice shrooms, but now there is only one that gets anything worth while.....Luckily they set-up a shroom tank about 2 months ago and have been getting in some pretty nice stuff...
