I bought a "mushroom rock" at a local Petco with mushrooms that looked identical to the the ones in your picture except that they were shriveled up as well. Because these were so pitiful-looking, the manager sold them to me for half price to get them out of his tank. They looked like they might be yumas and I was willing to take the chance. I brought them home and put them in my quarantine tank(20g w/2x65 pc lighting). For kicks, I tested the store's water. Nitrates were 40-50ppm. Within a day they opened up to reveal they are yumas and now, after two weeks, they are starting to color up pink/purple. I did put a squirt of phytoplankton in, but I think in my case it was the better water quality and lighting of my tank or maybe it's because I talk soothingly to them
In a couple of weeks, I'll move them to a more shaded part of my 75g since I have mh there and see how they do.
