Is this a mushroom? I’m not great at ID out of the water but it almost looks like mesenterial filaments in the one pic but idk where I’m supposed to look; and would expect all the filaments to come out of the mouth.

Is a ricordia Florida I believe. I thought it would come out of the mouth too

Also it’s the brown with white edges that I’m talking about
 
I dont have any ricordia but i believe they are considered to be a type of mushroom coral.
From what i hear, its not a good idea to dip mushrooms (?)
 
I don’t have any right now. I’m breaking down my old tank and noticed those things on it and so I dipped it to see if it would be able to blow off and they wouldn’t
got it, its pretty hard to tell by the photo but if given the fact that they wont blow off and it is out of the water id say they are just mesenterial filaments
 
I second @Baldyreef 's analysis. Those are mesenterial filaments and part of the coral. This can be a sign of stress and even a sign of self-defense.
