Would like some help identifying these mushrooms, they have been in my tank for 2 years and would like to know what I have lol.

Those are Flaming Leprechaun Farts. They are totally hot right now...

Obviously I am joking but those are some pretty rhodactis (the green ones) for sure.
 
1,2,4 rhodactis

3rd is a ricordia yuma

Nice shrooms!
 
Thank you, the names start getting confusing lol.
Rhodactis usually look fuzzy all over, ricordia look like lots of small bubbles and discosoma are smooth. Those are the 3 main types of mushrooms.

Ricordias come in Caribbean, which have bubbles more uniform in size and layout, and Yumas, which have more lines and variation in the bubble sizes.

I agree, those are nice specimens!

I've had those 2 next to eachother for 2 years and now I have some mushrooms in between that look like both and have bubbles growing on them. Could they mix together some how, and I've been told the bubbles are called bounce?

Each species has variations that can "bounce".

Bouncing is due to nutrients and lighting. Some say the bounces are actually growth tumors...gasp lol
 
I don't think they crossbred or anything like that. Probably those are just some that are changing due to the conditions. Wouldn't mind a pic, though.

You should post a picture of the bubbles to confirm, but it's definitely possible you had some bounce show up. That's really in demand right now, you might be able to sell 'em.
(If the bubbles on a bounce are technically tumors, it's still fine. Tumors are a problem when they interrupt vital organs or blood flow, and corals have few vital organs and no blood. It's like a burl on a tree, it's purely cosmetic- in this case, in a good way.)
 
This is called a WWC OG bounce.

There are so many blunce mushrooms now it is incredible!

Will get a pic by the end of the day!

Here's a pic of a bigger one I have.

Wow, that's cool-looking. And I say it looks nicer than the ones that are just 90% bubble.
This one has two different looking types of bounce on it, is that normal? Also these started growing in between the rhodactis and bright yuma that I posted and now these resemble the color of those two combined.
