Show me your mushrooms

Couple orange babies hitching a ride. Hard telling where they are going to end up.

I’m thinking about getting a mushroom coral for my 32.5 fluval flex, what types of mushrooms are the easiest to care for. What are the types that grow the fastest and what colors do they come in?
Hardy and affordable are ricordea yuma and rhodactis and even disdosoma
 
A few shrooms

My favorite mushrooms are dead mushrooms. They are a plague! :)
(Although Troylee's jawbreakers look pretty neat)

I had gsp that hitched a ride on an urchin, ended up on the side of my tank, haha.
 
Here is my doughboy and jawbreaker, these are super fun to watch as they change in size quite considerably depending on conditions and lighting and definitely go to sleep!

Also if you get one, the little glowing green thing by the doughboy in the last pic is what the babies look like, and those are also fun to watch develop

I plucked the gsp off and now have it growing in another tank.
 
Anyone have experience with their mushrooms detaching from their spot?

My mushrooms have detached themselves from their rocks and now I keep them where I hope they won't blow into an anemone or my pistol shrimps caves. Either way, as you can see they're just kinda .. there. Not sure how to help them put their foot down again

Very nice macro pictures! What are you using to take pictures?
Olympus TG-5 in microscope mode, with an orange filter taped to it if I’m shooting my reef tanks and not if I’m shooting the macro algae tank.
