There are many different species with different growth rates. Some are a nescience that spread rapidly and are difficult to eradicate. Others are very slow growing.

See if you can trade some of them in for store credit at a LFS. As for the tripling in size in a week, if this one is a new addition it could just be settling in and that larger size is more reflective of its fully expanded "happy" size.
Some people love mushrooms as a nice filler for bare rock areas. Just be careful as other people have them growing like weeds killing more desirable coral. Matter of opinions. Also note that some mushrooms can migrate about the rockwork... Plan accordingly

They tripled their size or their numbers? Mushrooms can swell up quite large when reaching for the light & contract to a very small size, this doesn't suggest growth or reproduction, it's simply one of their abilities.
