I have had these mushrooms for over a month and they have been in a mushroom box up until now. My mushrooms are: magic carpet, berserker bounce, and flamethrower bounce "not st thomas".

They haven't colored up at all and are not really bouncing much. I was told they would like higher light so that's what I'm trying today. I am running two kessil a360x on a 48" long tank. I have med/low flow spots in the top, mid or bottom of the tank.

If you have any experience with these mushrooms or similar ones please tell me what you know.

The mushrooms are irritated fue to being moved and shot with flow for a second.

Sorry for dirty glass ill clean it if necessary. I circled all the spots I was thinking they could go. My main goal is to get the best coloration out of all of them.

Looks really high light, so 3 by default. If they want more light they will move up ime.
 
They are too high in my opinion, lower/ move then lower from lights.
It's a Sunkist (the biggest) you have via phototos
 
Definitely not a st Thomas, this guy grows over 4"

In my opinion, too much par and possibly flow, try the sand bed first then move them a little higher if they are doing well.
 
Maybe I missed saying this. There are three places to put them. I have had them and low light and this is how they are right now. I am wanting to raise the light to get them to bounce more. I can move them down, they are not in a forever spot though.
 
This also isn't a thread about their health. They are all doing fine and growing. I am looking for though. Is how to get them to color up and bounce. The answer might now even be light. That is my goal though.

It's great that you're experimenting with different setups for your mushrooms. Light and flow adjustments can indeed affect their growth and coloration.
