Bought a rhodactis mushroom yesterday from LFS - Is it really a yuma or ricordea though?

[Loring]

As the title suggests I'm not convinced what I purchased was actually a rhodactis now that it is opening up more today (top mushroom in picture). The mushroom is highlighter yellow which I've personally never really seen on a ricordea before so I'm wondering perhaps it's a maybe a yuma? It of course could be a rhodactis I'm still a bit new to this.

Any insight is appreciated, my concern is if it could hurt my "other" rhodactis if it is indeed something else?

Thank you in advance.

Looks like a yuma, usually yumas have more lateral and uniform "nubs" where as ricordea florida are dense packs of nubs.

Yumas are very aggressive. They are a type of anemone or at least related to them. Give it lots of space.

for sure the green one was yuma shroom, the buttoon one was a orange rhodactis mushroom.

Thanks for the help, my LFS took it back they didn't have any Yuma's at all in their system told me they haven't had any in store for months. They officially have one now.

Thanks again for the response.

Yup, looks like a yuma to me. Nice score actually!
