Hey guys!

I picked these two mushrooms up from a local guy who was breaking down his tank. He wasn’t sure of their names, so I’m hoping someone here can help with an ID.

Do these have a specific name/trade name, or are they just generic mushrooms?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Mushroom # 1 - Lights on and off

Probably has at least 20 different trade names based on who you ask, but to me that's always been an Orange Rhodactis Mushroom.
 
They are already taking up a lot of space on 3" discs; does anyone know how much they usually sell for privately?
 
They used to be called forest on fire....back in the days...some of them bubble up
