Mushroom ID/true value of this mushroom

[SnazzyUrchin792]

I was just at my lfs and they had some mushrooms labeled as “blue spotted discos” that they said were “very rare”. They were charging $55 for a frag that was probably .5” in size. I wanted to know if the coral was known by any other name and how “rare” they really are. The mushroom has a reddish brown background with blue bumps and an orange perimeter. I apologize for the poor image quality.

Another image I thought I had inserted but apparently didn’t:

The mouth also has a greenish tinge

... What exactly did they say makes this 'rare'?

They didn’t go into a lot of detail, but the orange ring around the edge to start.

Looks like a typical blue dot red discosoma to me. I don't think I would pay 55 for a booger of it.

While it doesn’t look quite like a normal blue dot disco, I don’t think it’s worth the price they’re charging. It’s a nice coral, but doesn’t seem that insanely rare.

It looks like one of the "interstellar" variants (basically like a premium disco). Personally, I don't think that size of frag offers good value.

would definitely not pay $55 for that

Other blue dot discos I have seen haven’t had that orange ring around the edge. Also, it’s bigger than I first thought, .75-1 inch.
