Here's my hoard:

Do you keep a spreadsheet and a map with names and stuff? There’s sooo many beautiful mushrooms. I’ve never seen that many all in one place.

Yeah thats a serious stash. Looks like it goes on and on too. Would be cool if reefer labeled them all in that picture. I recognize alot but there's alot of old school fire in there for sure.
Incredible

I pretty much remember all of them. There are some wilds I've been growing out for years that have no name, or I haven't named them yet. There are some that must have a name, but the sellers I bought them from couldn't remember.

Thanks @LRT. Once I start transferring them over, I will take better pics of individual shrooms and post them with names.

That's simply amazing! I have been sps guru all my reefing history, and got hooked on shrooms recently. I have been thinking of a dedicated system for shrooms as well, a shallow lagoon with minimal rock. Your collection is outstanding!

Pictures or it aint true

fyi...this mushroom is the most camera shy coral ever. He seems to have found his spot in this barnacle. When it opens up, it completely blocks the entrance. everytime I look for it to take a picture, it’s closed (like now). I’ll get a picture here soon. I promise.

im not sure if videos be uploaded yet, but I’m going to try anyway. Have you ever seen this kind of craziness? It’s like he legitimately knows I’m watching.

I had to go through the whole shabbang to upload it to YouTube. I can’t believe how annoying this mushroom is being.

Cool shroom, kinda looks like a lava lamp.

9/12/20 UPDATE: We have reached the ugly phase. Part of reefing that I don't personally enjoy, but there's no where we can go without it. Rock is covered in brown stuff, so is the sane and glass. Apex is in, needs proper cable management which will be the next small project. So here we go with the plan for the day:

Test params
Tumble the substrate
Clean the glass
Small water change
It's moving day - some new shrooms are going to the new home
Cable organization and probe calibration

I also started daily dosing Macrobacter7. I have to say new shrooms are not very happy in this tank, I am not sure if it's due to the harshness of the transfer, I am peroxiding/bayering everything to kill bristle worms; it the tank is just too new. Have to clean my par sensor and throw it onto this setup to figure out if that's it. More things to come, but here's 2 latest shots to keep my friends (all of you reading) entertained.

The Ugly Phase sucks man! I'm going through it as well with the crushed coral and sand I did my shroom tables with! Its a chore everday with it.
Funny you mention it but my shrooms where perfectly settled in on my frag racks. Nice and happy. And then I made the change and alot of them weren't happy for awhile and barely starting to settle back in.
Cleaner I keep it and stay on top of it they are loving me for it though.

That's a White Rabbit Corals Circus Bounce, first bounce I have ever owned. Same one as I have listed here with a better picture: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/wysiwyg-bounce-mushroom-pack.757061/.
