I know this an oldish post, but here is my experience with Amplexidiscus mushrooms.
Mine was over 18 inches across at it's largest, it was on the top of the rockwork under 2 175w metal halides in a 75gallon tank. When it out grew my tank I peeled it off the rock it was on and it left several small patches of it's foot behind, they grew to 3-4 inches in diameter in about 6 months. I had the parent mushroom in a frag tank with a young pair of Gold Stripe Maroon clowns, the mushroom ate the 3 inch male clown.
