LFS tank Display What kind of Mushrooms , 15+ years old
They say this tank has been setup for over 15 years and some of these mushrooms are over 6 inches around. the entire tank is covered in them. I took a couple quick snaps they arnt the greatest. What do you think they are. And I had no idea they could get so huge!

 It does kindof,.. you have to admire a good imagination
Check this pic out,.. It took this while hiking:
Totally off topic, I know,.. and I'm sorry, but it is a cool pic
Some of those mushrooms are really 6" across? That is huge for one of those guys,.. I've never seen them more than 2" or so.
