I have one blue mushroom about the size of a dime. just got it last weekend, and i find that i cant find much info on things like growth and reproduction
lots on ric and yuma... not so much on plain ol mushrooms... beyond 'look at my' threads...
so er, how fast / slow do they grow... how long till ti should be 2 inchs? or till it might reproduce?
not looking for absolute numbers, just ball park..

All my mushrooms started out as singles. For example. I have green hairy mushrooms, my tank is just about 3 years old and one of those mushrooms has completely covered a rock now.
I also just bought a single green striped mushroom the size of a quarter. It is not twice that size in 2 months.
I do nothing at all for them. They catch flakes and frozen foods when I feed.
They will multiply in time some faster than others. Another one of I have just split once and there are two huge ones of it but no more. Others I have there are a bunch of small tiny ones. So I guess it depends on the mushrooms.
Just place it in the are you want it to be and leave it be. Soon enough there will be lots of them around.
