About a month ago I bought this mushroom online. Was listed as a blue mushroom but to be honest, I'm not so sure it really is. It's more of a pink/red color with a green tinge and bumps on it. A friend here in the forums sent me one of his blue mushrooms and it looks totally different from this one. The one he sent me is actually more blue/purplish than the other one and has no bumps, but "veins". So I just want to make sure what this thing really is. Is it REALLY a blue mushroom? Do they all vary in colors and textures?
Here's a picture of it.

He's not fully expanded. When he is, he is more of a pinkish color. He's wedged between a small crevice. I actually stuck my hand in a few days ago to try to move him to a better place (He's not glued or anything) but he was so slimey I couldn't grasp him lol. He shriveled up and released some kinda... ink stuff or whatever, so I figured it best to leave alone. But anyway, I digress.

What is it? :ooh:
 
Looked at some pics of rhodactis andthey seem to be allot more bumpy than mine. I didn't see any matching pics.
 
Discosoma mushroom. Can be smooth, bumpy like yours, have streaks in them, and I'm sure theres others as well. The colors will vary. Might have looked more blue in their tank, or maybe they are partially color blind? lol
 
Definitely Discosoma. It may color up more when it adjusts to your system.
