How big do mushrooms get???

XeniaGirl · 03-25-2007, 02:07 PM

Good afternoon,
I have two rather large mushrooms in my 10g Nano and I was wondering, if water quality/lighting/feeding is good, how big will they get?
Mine are each about 3-4 inches across.
Thanks!

depends on the type of mushroom most get 2"-4", but some get around a foot wide. do you know the species or have a picture?

My fuzzy shrooms got to be about 8" across til I let my tank get too hot, and everything died.

I'm not sure what species - I have a red one and a green striped one, non-fuzzy. They were about dime-size when I got them and, like I mentioned, they're much larger now. I'm just curious more than anything else.

pretty much depends on the species. sounds like you just have standard shrooms which will prolly stay 2-4 inches. good luck with your nano btw

prolly the discoma species. I have a red one that is a little over 4" and the green striped ones are about 2-3.
