A friend bought this as a bounce and couldn't remember the name of it this past year. It never bounced under his halides and gave it to me to see what it would do under a radion xr15g4 pro. Here's a picture of it after a few months in my tank. Was wondering if this is a "Bounce" and if so, what's its name. Haven't really been able too ID anything remotely close to it. Couple of pics.

Yeah, pretty sure it's a Yuma. I think true "bounce" mushrooms are all rhodactis not sure.

It looks cool though, Ricordea Florida and yumas have those bumps on them.

Yours has a discoma look to it. Also, ricordea are not the only mushrooms that can develop large vesicles known as bouncing.

No doubt. But my understanding was "true" bounce are rhodactis. Mainly because the feature is far more common in Yuma.

That is not a real lava lamp yuma, its a disco ,as for the disco lava lamp not sure when or who how that happened , but there is only one lava lamp mushroom they are Yuma's and almost all melted out of existence , I am one of the only people I know who successfully aquaculture's them, and they are some crazy shroomz . Its "bouncing" cause you had it under radions. It is not a bounce mushroom either, as mentioned those are all rhodactis . here is a colony of Lava Lamps

An excerpt from the original person who had it " It’s some form of discoma. I had a mother that had wild bounces like an OG Bounce that looked highlighter green under blues. Sent it to a bunch of people and never got an accurate name".
