ricordea mushroom Deflating

Lately I’ve noticed my mushroom deflating over than span of a couple days, it went from a puffy vibrant specimen to a less colorful, less bumpy deflated mushroom, is this normal

In my experience mushrooms prefer a little phosphate and nitrate, plus my euphyllias are doing great, I think it’s another reef mystery
