Mushroom(?) ID Looks like a maze fully extended

[moretor1]

I have a bad habit of buying stuff even when I have no clue what they need

Picked this guy up for $20 because the look was absolutely beautiful. Currently have it sitting in a low-med flow area towards the bottom

At first I thought it was a leather of some sort (I really have no clue how to Id 90% of things) then I thought maybe an lps of some sort

That looks like a St Thomas or hairy mushroom. Lower light and flow.

Hardy coral and very nice looking one. Love the pink

After some looking i have come to the conclusion that it is a carpet mushroom

wow that has to be the prettiest shroom ive seen.

My lfs always has the weirdest coral for great prices

Can't believe this guy was so cheap but they want $80 for a generic hammer and $120 for a torch

That’s would be quite the lucky purchase considering those magic carpets are like $400 a polyp.

depending on the torch $120 is a solid deal. i need this LFS in MA

I don't know what all they have but I remember one being a "golden stalk torch" for 180

Not golden all the way through but probably like 80% up the polyp

From what I understand the "magic carpet" pattern specifically references multi colored polyps and is more of a hype marketing term

They're all rodhactis mushrooms, and carpet mushroom is not something I can actually pin down

Although I will say this one has a very pretty pink/green pattern and I will be henceforth naming this combo The Fairly Oddparent mushroom
