so i have a mushroom that all of a sudden decided to grow some balls -can some one tell me what would cause this-it never did this before.

It’s called “bouncing” and I’m not sure what causes it. Lolol at your title

Some call it bouncing...Some get really big bubbles.

Some mushrooms do this because of light or PAR.

Its not a bounce mushroom but they develop this occasionally

so how do you tell the difference between a mushroom with balls from a bouncing shroom?

After forking out over $200 for a bounce shroom - You’ll know LOL

Yours is a yuma and they do get big bubbles. Someone here was selling some for around 200 for a big one.

Different species have different patterns of bubbles. Some look really cool!

It's just the style mushroom, here's mine. Different colors but does the same thing . Generally they swell from changes to light or water chemistry.

It's a recordia Yuma. Not sure why but mine did the same as yours. Seems to get more pronounced during feeding
