Ricordea? Or Something else?
Did I buy ricordea or something else? It doesn't look like most of the ones I've researched. It's currently in my 12 gallon which doesn't have a lot of light...could this be the issue? I bought it 3 months ago and honestly can't remember what it looked like in the store...I just remember that I needed to have it.

and as for low light...all mushrooms are low light coals...and from what ive been told yumas and reg riccordias are even lower light then typical shrooms...but i could have been told diff then the truth...but im pretty sure rics require or strive with less light...on the other hand i have all of mine under metal halides and most of them are middle to higher in the tank .

Rics, mushroom, rics, mushroom. I guess I'll just settle for not really knowing and be happy with my purchase. I guess as long as they look healthy I have nothing to worry about. Thanks for your input!

I See bumps around the mouth, which I was told was a way to tell if its a R.Florida Or R.Yuma. So Id vote yuma but thats just from my very limited time of experience and limited reading.
