how fast do these things grow?

[Altpers0na-old]

I have one blue mushroom about the size of a dime. just got it last weekend, and i find that i cant find much info on things like growth and reproduction

lots on ric and yuma... not so much on plain ol mushrooms... beyond 'look at my' threads...

so er, how fast / slow do they grow... how long till ti should be 2 inchs? or till it might reproduce?

not looking for absolute numbers, just ball park..

All my mushrooms started out as singles. For example. I have green hairy mushrooms, my tank is just about 3 years old and one of those mushrooms has completely covered a rock now.

I also just bought a single green striped mushroom the size of a quarter. It is not twice that size in 2 months.

I do nothing at all for them. They catch flakes and frozen foods when I feed.

They will multiply in time some faster than others. Another one of I have just split once and there are two huge ones of it but no more. Others I have there are a bunch of small tiny ones. So I guess it depends on the mushrooms.

Just place it in the are you want it to be and leave it be. Soon enough there will be lots of them around.

blue mushrooms grow fast I started with 7 within a year 100+ within 2 years they were takeing over my tank put it in high light med. flow for a wile then you can cut the stem and place the top of the mushroom on another spot it will stick in under a week then you have two and so on blue mushrooms now pay for my hobby allmost
for some reason I cant post any pics but look at my gallery I have some pics

my blue shrooms, looked great for a year, then they started dropping off the rock and moving all over, leaving small shrooms in there path, started with like 12 and now have 30, have to siphon them out to control them

save all the dropped shrooms and cut the large ones lfs love single shrooms and I sell mine to lfs for $2-$3 each at 1"-2"it pays for food salt new light bulbs whatever my tanks need at the time
