Pricing for a yuma

ahiggins · Jan 23, 2017

Hey yall!
Theres a small (2") yume at my LFS with some really interesting color. The middle bumps have orange on them and the outer bumps have green. The LFS wants $50 for it...is that a good price?
He also sold me a frag of a bounce shroom for $200 and that seemed like a great deal. Just curious

Maybe if it is very unique. Yumas usually go like 10-15$ per polyp

I've seen them as high as $30, but $50 seems a little steep unless it's a truly unique piece.

If they look like these, I paid around $20 per frag. Some frags had more than one mushroom on it:

look almost identical except more fluorescent-could just be lighting.
Thanks for your info everyone

The left side is actually one of three or four babies on that plug

that really is cool

how long does it take them to grow that much?
I have a discosoma that sprouted a baby last week when I moved it...It had to have tore off a bit of foot right?
are the polypie bits supposed to be that large? (fluffy? expandy? lol)

I'd guess 20-30$ for a yuma.
As for a bounce, its crazy to me that ppl pay so much.

ahiggins · Jan 23, 2017

lol yea...I think mines cute and it started as half a bounce, now its a full circle bounce lol I like watching things grow

plus...Ive maxed out on different colored acans and those are my favorite. So now I have to find another favorite.

Ricordias and Yumas fluctuate in price like crazy. I've seen them from $10 all the way up to $200 depending on size and colors. In the pic you can see 2 yumas on ebay that went for alot more than the $10-15 I thought they'd sell for. So if it's considered an "ultra ricordia" then it might be worth the $50.
