mushroom growth rate

i bought 6 ricordia mushrooms last week and one red bullseye mushroom. The red bullseye expands fully when the lights are on, but how long does it usually take for it to divide or should i propigate it myself? also is their a certain size it should be when i divide it? it is about the size of a 50 cent piece right now. Also when i got the rics they had already started to divide, how long does the process usually take?
All tank specs are normal, i have 2 - 65 watt pcs (1 - 12k and one actinic)

The rics are all the way down on the substrate should i move them up more? They expand all the way, but are yet to start growing and dividing. PLEASE HELP !!
 
If you really want to multiply your shrooms, the quickest way is to do it yourself.. I took a a small corner of one (like the size of a dime) within a week it had fully developed into a smally shroom. Two weeks later it was hte size of a quarter.
 
i got a 20g long{frag} i traded for a ric that was about too
split i target fed it an keep it half way up my tank its been 3 weeks an it has already split...my mushrooms love this tank, they grow like mad..

Um, it has only been a week, I wouldnt expect them to start dividing yet, especially not to the point where I sent out a paniced PLEASE HELP!!

It will happen, give it time, feed them it will help.
