Uk bounce mushroom ...maybe ?

Vincent100 · Mar 12, 2018

Hi all
So my lfs got this mushroom in yesterday
I quickly bought it as I've not seen anything close to a bounce in the UK and neither has my lfs
They want me to make it reproduce and sell back to them ......I get on very well with the owner

Anyway does the mushroom have potential
I've got to take into account it had only been in my lfs for 2 hours than straight into my tank
Took some pics under different colour lights so scroll down for them
Thanks

It does look like a bounce mushroom.

It has potential if UK reefers will pay "bounce mushroom prices" for it. If UK reefers are willing to pay a mortgage payment for what is essentially a brown rhodactis mushroom with a few inflated tentacles, then yes, it would be a worthwhile endeavor. If UK reefers pay what someone normally would for a mostly brown rhodactis ($20 USD or less), then it's not worth it. The best thing to do would be to gauge the interest of your fellow hobbyist before making any decisions, especially if you're considering this solely as a money-making endeavor.

Yes it's a bounce some imported bounce shrooms go for big money, but not like they do in the USA. I live in the UK and I have Biohazards, Circus Bounce and a few Castle bounce. I did have a Uranium that I bought it from Cockfields for £20 and two castle bounces for £40. But the most I have sold a Biohazard was £120 And I think thats more than enough.
