My tank is completely healthy and the parameters are perfect. My bounds mushroom has started to shrink and a whole has formed in the middle with some white warmish got spewing out. Any idea what this is and or what remedy I can use to reverse this?

What testing kit are you using? Have you verified your water parameters at a LFS or other source?

How old is you tank? Light and tank Params? How long the mushroom is been there ?
Typically a shroom like this is a goner and will melt. I have been able to successfully slice off a foot piece to at least grow a new one from. Wish I knew that when this happened to my eclectus shroom.
Cut at your own risk but what your seeing almost always leads to a melted shroom. Iodine dips will prolong the time it takes to melt but I was not able to save any that way.

I wish I could help, but I have very little experience with mushrooms and never with sick ones. I'm always trying to figure out how to keep them from over growing stuff.
Good luck and hopefully other #ReefSquad members will be more helpful.

The mushroom could be damaged one treatment that I have used a dip in a solution of Lugol's iodine.
This will stop any bacteria infection of the mushroom.
