Admittedly I’m not much of a mushroom keeper, and I’m involved in the whole bounce craze. But I have an orange mushroom which maybe someone could help ID, but long story short it’s just getting “bouncier” and bouncier. So my question is, is this mushroom bouncing? And if so, is this a crazy amount of bounce or pretty normal?

I'm not well versed in mushrooms but I'm guessing that's not a "bounce" but more like a shroom that has tentacles like that. I wish I could remember the type that looks like that but I cannot. At least a bump for your question!

Yeah there’s a few on the backside that look more bubbly or Bouncey per se but I have to agree with you, definitely would classify it more as tentacles. I’m mostly wondering if it’s a sign of stress or just happily swaying along

Looks pretty happy to me, otherwise it would be all drawn in on itself. Cool coral!
 
same kind of thing as mentioned, while the vesicles are elongated and a little swollen i'm not entirely sure i'd call that a "bouce mushroom" but awesome none the less and i'd be pretty pumped to have it in my own system.
Here is the OG WWC Bounce Mushroom for comparison

I've never been much about "bounce" mushrooms but here's what happened with some superman rhodactis in one of my systems with regard to light levels. and here's a paper where researchers looked at the "bounce" cause in corals which is interesting but inconclusive. As mentined above if your corals is expanding it's probably fine.
