I’ve seen 2 mouths on a mushroom plenty of times, but not 3?

I got the first one of these ricordeas ~2 years ago. I’m only up to a total of 8 so far. They don’t spit out babies, they only grow a second mouth that migrates away until it splits to form a second mushroom. It’s been a slow process and I’ve just recently been able to start cutting them off to try and sell.

Last night, I noticed this one had 3 mouths??? I have no clue how it’s going to handle splitting like this. The smaller mouth towards the back, was originally the 2nd one that appeared 2 months ago and was working its way out. I guess another one has formed during this time.

Anyone else experience something similar? How did the mushroom do after?

Instead of splitting into individuals, the mushroom has decided to become the borg-shroom.

That’s what this one is doing. It spit out 2 babies a long time ago (I think, they are still tiny for some reason) and now refuses to do anything other than acquire mass. It would cover the entire 4”x4” tile it’s on if it would come off the frag plug it’s holding onto.
