Hello I’m looking to get my first. Orals and planning to start with mushrooms. I went into my LFS and they didn’t have a great range. I saw the ones below but the person serving didn’t have an awful lot of information. Could anyone identify these types for me and any issues I might have with them. Do they look healthy enough. Sorry the pictures aren’t great. I wasn’t sure if it was the done thing to take pictures in store!

I was just looking for blue and red discoma but they didn’t have any. I believe this are some kind of rhodactis? But not sure of the type or even the colour as I find it hard to tell under the blue lights
 
Green one is a mostly smaller one in my experience - Green Carpet mushroom if I recall. It's a Rhodactis variety.

The second one looks like it has a skeleton? Are you positive it's a mushroom?
 
To be honest no I’m not certain. I tried google image and it was coming back with stony coral suggestions. I’ll avoid! Thank you!

Yeah, it's hard to tell from that photo but I'm thinking LPS as well.
