Ricordea
I have to disagree. I do not think that is a ricordea at all. Rics have a different bump style, but I am not shure of what it is, sorry.

i think that only 1 of the mushrooms is a ricordea (the one in the 10oclock position from the blue mushroom), but the rest are some other type of mushroom. (i have the other types and they definitley are not ricordeas).
 
There are two types of ricordea. One that comes from the pacific and one that comes from the atlantic. That one in the middle (10 o'clock position), IMHO, looks like the pacific version but can't be 100% sure until it gets bigger. The ones surrounding it may be something else unless they are recovering from transport or conditions/lighting that were/was not so good at the LFS.
 
they are Yumas cannot tell on the color since they are still very small but with good water conditions they will grow and spread very quickly.
 
I have those maroon ones as well, they arent any type of ric. I have both types of rics and these are different and will remain so as they get bigger.

In any case, if you like them, and they look good in your tank, and you live in the boonies, you got a good deal.
