Both are beautiful shrooms! Personally, I'm drawn to the bottom one more! Both are tank worthy and I would be happy to have in my own home tank! Thank you for sharing!

Honestly both are about the same in my book!

I am by no means a mushroom expert here (torches are my thing lol) but my understanding is that you are correct in that both are technically rics just different subspecies. Yumas typically only have the "bumps" or "bubbles" toward the edge of the lips where the "rics" are all over the surface (example below). But I will defer to more passionate minds than mine for true mushroom expertise!

also would you happen to know what makes a mushroom a "godzilla"? My LFS told me its the way the bubbles on a ric grows, or like if a ric has big bubbles but also from posts online it seems its a color strain?
