What type of mushrooms are these?

haha thats ironic...i had just asked if i had enough light in this thread here .

i have 2 PC 96w
One pure 10k and one AC03 (which i hear isn't actinic? or is it...it looks oftly blue compaired to another i had form a local store which is more purple).
I normally start the day with about 15-20 min of pure AC03 and turn on the daylight also...and then around dusk, i turn off the daylight and keep the AC03 on for another 20 before going completely black (to help replicate dawn/dusk?)

The mushrooms i think are hairy mushrooms judging on what the wife (she always swears she remembers everything) and google say...
 
Actinic 03's are true actinics. Well its supposed to be. Look on it and see if it gives a nanometer rating. 420nm is true actinic, and 460 is not, but a much brighter blue. What brand is it? But the true actinic (420nm) is supposed to be more purple, and the 460 more blue.

How much flow do you have on them? 2x96w pc should be plenty for those, so i dont know why they'd be stretching... How tall is your 80? Maybe its a really tall one?
 
my bulbs where bought at some discount place online like 3 months ago, they don't have a nanometer rating on them, and to top it off, they already are looking 1/2 dead...last time i buy from there, I was thinking hellolights.com this time...

I do have a powerhead moving water from the overflowbox side (1/2 way down, and 1/2 way in). the current is like 1/2- 1 inch off the mushrooms...

If i remember correctly, they used to be flat, then they started crowding eachother, and started to stretch while moving, occationally they lay flat, but most of the time they look like the pictures. We moved one to my wifes tank (48 hex, very deep) at the top and it lays flat currently...

Perhaps im not feeding what i should? I feed 1/4 a cube of formula one w/ zoopelex (like a squirt or 2) and sometimes seamonkeys/brineshrimp that we grow in our 10gallon (outside cause MAN they stink!)

Can someone help me identify these red spots in my tank? Are they algae? If so, how can I get rid of them?
