This is my second wwc bounce mushroom and it’s starting to shrivel again. I have Sunkist, juggernaut and electus, jawbreaker mushrooms and they seem to be doing fine. I’m baffled by why my og bounce is always dying. Any insight would be much appreciated.
My parameters are
Alk 8.0
Calcium 430
Mag is 1420
Phosphates and nitrates are low but I believe these are incorrect since my chaeto grows like crazy.
Nitrate 3 and phosphates 0.01

Is it in a mushroom box, frag rack or otherwise kept away from any pickers and nippers? I have a bunch of these and they tend to be quite easy as long as nothing is picking on them until they get a bit larger.

FWIW - mine are under Metal Halide with NSW level N and P with strong light. They thrive and grow well.

Lol I was paranoid about the flow so I put in in a mushroom cage inside a mushroom box
