Neon Ironman Mushroom

williamCreery · Mar 12, 2024

Ok so I have a question… I have a local reef store that’s reached to me off of a picture and wants to buy one mushroom off of me due to its rarity and market value sky rocketing…

I’m looking everyone online to find my coral and can’t even find one… and if I do it either the regular neon orange mushrooms that are valued at almost $70 EACH (sold out) and Ironman mushrooms at $100 Each (sold out).

Can’t tell weather I should have a high price cuz I do indeed have the only one without any buying sold over the internet?

What would you guys say on price??

Also I have amazing parameters and over the past 5 years they have only split 4 times… so I only have 4!!! And seems to me they are hard and slow to multiply?

I mean, Ironman Discosomas aren't rare at all, are they? I see them come and go pretty regularly, usually in the $50 range. Here's one example:

I ended up selling one for $115 (they offered $100 walk in) double checked.
It’s a “neon Ironman mushroom”.
From the info I got from the LFS it’s surprisingly both a neon and Ironman together!?? They told me something about it being actually rare!? No clue. I did get an explanation from them.. it’s due to it’s color, smooth body and small bumps on the very outer edges? I looked closer at the image and I did see and noticed the small bumbs on the very lip of the mushroom as they explained to me.
I did give them my biggest one that measured about 4inch cuz it was the only one easy off the rock!

Huh. I guess I need one now too. :D

I collect Jawbreakers and other cool/rare discosomas.
