What is this?

it shrinks up really small when i touch it, i dont recall it being sticky, but it put of a slime after i touched it.

It does look like a mushroom in that last pic, although I'm not positive it's a ricordea, may just be a bumpy fuzzy mushroom. Look up pics of different mushrooms to compare. It may be one of these that you have to wait for it to grow a couple more days until you can tell.

When you said that it retracts when you touch it, I was betting on flower anenome or mojano, but now I am thinking mushroom after seeing that last photo. Does it just shrink away from you when you touch, or does it try to grab your finger, is it sticky to the touch?

yeah by the looks of the last pic, i would say it is your standard rhodactis or hairy green 'shroom.

mine look like this when all colored up...

yeah thats pretty much what it looks like. whats up with these guys? what kind of light requirements? how quickly do they grow?

[brewercm]

Pretty much any light and they can grow and multiply fairly fast.
