Bought this Florida Ricordea today at the LFS for $30. There are 7 mouths with an 8th on the way. 2 are quite small but open for food. I thought a Ricordea would have to be large to divide/multiply like this, but this one is not. The largest one is smaller than a dime. Is anyone familiar with this happening?

That's such a cool specimen! The number of mouths on a Ricordea doesn't mean that it's multiplied or divided yet. It's when the foot/ body actually split and they become separate mushrooms. It looks like the top right portion with the two mouths might start pinching, and if so that's when it'll split!
