Mushrooms Anyone

What is the diff. between a Rhodactis and Ricordia and a Yuma mushroom they are always the most expensive shrooms.

A True Florida Racordia Will Only Get About 2-21/2" Big And Have Bubble Tips.
A Rhodactis Is A Normal Mushroom That Is Thicker And Bumpy And Can Get Larger
A Yuma $$$$ Can Get Very Large ( I Had A Orange One That Was About 9" Accross ) And Come In Very Beautiful Colors

The pink/purple one in this picture is Ricordia, the green one is Yuma.

Steve they almost look alike I don't think that I could tell the differ.

The yuma looks like a baby version of the ric.

 

[Chris L]

the mouth onthe yumas stick up and the ricordias stay flush

The thing easiest way to tell a Yuma from a Ricordia is the mouth. See how the "balls" continue all the was up the "neck" to the mouth? Ricordia "necks" are smooth.

also when expanded a yuma is not covered with the bubbles like a ricordia. you see bare spots

Awesome tips. I was wondering myself between yuma and fl ric.

It's my limited and newly aquired understanding that the Ric's high price comes from the collection restrictions.
