In the 90's most of my rock was covered with mushrooms at the base and they were pretty big too. I couldn't give them away fast enough and probably threw mounds of them away. We did a lot of crazy things back then.While not as exotic as most of the varieties in this thread here is an interesting picture of a colony of common purples i had in a 70gal 15 years ago. Taken under pure white light (flash). For some reason they grew to huge sizes in this tank and this one here was almost 6" across. You don't see purples that much anymore even though they are far less aggressive than many common rhodactis.They can get big though, and spread fast.. t
Yeah I loved the purple tongas back then. Used to chop them up like pizzas and sell them back to lfs for store credit.In the 90's most of my rock was covered with mushrooms at the base and they were pretty big too.

Yeah, those were pretty cool. I had tons of pics, but lost them when we moved to SoCal. Lots of shrooms, zoas, leathers and some crazy cool brains. Ricordias were crazy colorful too.Yeah I loved the purple tongas back then. Used to chop them up like pizzas and sell them back to lfs for store credit.
Still one of my favorites
Lol do itThese mushrooms are awesome. This thread makes me want to put only mushrooms in my 90 gallon shallow
Sideshow Bob! Fungia meets rhodactis.What kind of shroon is this?

Couldn't agree more. I think discosomas were the preference, along with ricordea back then. I have some green rhodactis that I would love to get out of my tank, but there on a rock with my gorgonian.Purple / blue discoma shrooms are under rated. As I recall the ones in my pic were in tank with lots of iodine and a nitrate level of 50. Why they grew so crazy. I got a nice on some rock recently with red / teal and purple discoma on it, so I'm growing them back out.
Just my own experience, but I've found rhodactis shrooms no matter how pretty they are either grow pathetically slow, or are invasive as all heck.
Very nice digging the green streaked one.some of mine
