Difference between Rhodactis and Discosoma mushrooms?

Hello everyone - Is there an easy way to tell the difference between Rhodactis and Discosoma mushrooms so that I can figure out what I have?

Rhodactis have a fuzzy/ hairy appearance to them generally while discosuma are smooth

When I placed my order with LiveAquaria on Sunday, I thought I would be getting the mushrooms pictured below. The pic in my first post is what they sent me so I'm not sure what exactly I received.

Maybe call them up on it, they seems to be messing up a lot of orders from what ive read lately. Though not sure theres much that can be done. The care for all mushrooms is generally the same, so you should be fine with it. Just big rhodactis ive heard can be fish eaters

That's my concern. Rhodactis are known to eat fish and small inverts and I don't want them in my tank. I have a nano tank with small fish and all the Discosomas I have are fine...but if these are Rhodactis, I'll need to get them out before I lose livestock.

I sent LA an email regarding the issue this morning but never heard back.

Once they've opened up a bit send another photo in as it will be easier to ID then, hope they arent rhodactis . Ive seen that colour morph before but i just cant remember what family it belongs too, i feel it is discosumma but i just cant be 100%
