jhouse - Hairy mushrooms would probably thrive in your toilet. These are not very particular. They would provavly survive under NO (normal output) flourescents.

right now i have a t8 florescent light do you think they would be good with that
 
Probably, but since they are used to much higher light, perhaps it would be wise to wait until you upgrade lighting. There is no rush. Patience is definitely a virtue in this hobby.

will you hold them for me as i am trying to get new lights this week
 
I can also speak for the hardiness of the green hairy mushroom, I think they would survive a nuclear event, they would just get bigger and glow more in the dark..
