Mushroom ID

[MidlifeCrifish]

I picked this up at my LFS today purely out of curiosity with the ever growing bounce mushroom popularity. It was listed for sale as a "tri-color bounce mushroom." From what I've gathered a mushroom isnt a bounce until it develops those benign tumor-like sacks and I saw none in the picture. Is this a rhodactis? Is it being listed as a bounce mushroom because it has the potential to bounce? Or is this mushroom coral simply misidentified/mislabeled in the product listing? Any input is greatly appreciated thanks!

Looks like a blue disco to me, I have at least 10 of them, they spawn like crazy!

Discosoma is smooth and blue, this is quite rough in texture as far as I can tell from the pic. Not trying to be crappy, just wanted to point that out.

I don think you’re being crappy. I was told mine are blue disco, they look exactly the same. What are they? I don’t know the name of half my corals but I know what type they are.

It's a species of Rhodactis, the same type that makes the 'bounce mushrooms'. It's honestly got to be my favorite shroom genus, very prolific and colorful.
