Hello! I bought these mushrooms for $5 a piece at a LFS and was wondering if you could help me ID them. The dots glow green/blue at night. Looks like a starry night. Sorry for the subpar pics

It looks like it's about 70% of the way to developing little points, which suggests it's an umbrella mushroom, to me. I would love to see pictures of its "starry night" effect, if you can!
 
Looks like a discosoma mushroom top pics- close to rhodactis

iPhone pictures don’t do it justice. Each one of those bumps is a darker neon bluish green

First two are of some in my quarantine and last two are of ones I recently moved to the DT. I’ll try to post pictures later when they hopefully open more. The bumps spread out which lead me to believe it’s not a rhodactis.

Yeah, those pics a tad fuzzy
 
That's beautiful! A steal for $5/mushroom, to me.
I know! I couldn’t pass them up. The bright bluish/green dots caught my eye at the LFS. These guys were pushed in a far corner of one of the LFS tanks. I inquired and he shrugged and said “eh I could do them $5 a piece”
 
Here’s a nicer picture of one that’s been settling in the DT for about a week. The blue light barely reaches it where it’s at so the colors don’t pop into that starry night effect.
