Mushroom Id?

rkplucker · 06-03-2004, 02:03 PM

I was sold this as a Bullseye Mushroom. But after posting on another thread, I was told it is not. Anyone have any ideas what it is? Or where I could research? Thanks!

THat is by far, the most bizarre mushroom I have ever seen. Did you buy it locally in Jacksonville? No help on the ID, but a cool mushroom indeed...

Is it a Ricordia on steriods? Very different in deed.

I got it from Roes Marine World.
I've had it for about 6 months and always just assumed it was a Bullseye as advertised. It is a very slow grower and has a small baby you can see on the right side.

I looked in Borneman's book "Aquarium Corals" and on page 205, you will see Discosoma sanctithomae. I believe this is what you have, or a variety there of. Eric Borneman refers to it also as bubble or warty mushroom.

Hope that helps!

Apparantly also known as Rhodactis sanctithomae (fickle scientists...)

Here are some links:

Although, the picture doesn't look much like yours. In fact, I couldn't find anything on the net that resembles your shroom (And I don't have the Borneman book). Cool stuff, good work Nikki...
