When I first got it the bumps/bubbles were all similar in size. They now blow up in difference sizes. Was curious what mushroom I had.
Thanks!!!

Could be something, though, could be nothing.

Looks almost like a raunchy red bounce but the skirt is missing some colors.
I may have to update the pic to a lighter one because it’s actually an orange mushroom
But thanks for at least giving me an idea of what it could be

The main color doesnt matter as much as the other colors it comes with on the body and skirt.
The most common orange bubble bounce is the sunkist but the body is neon green/purple and the vessicles look more like a carpet mushroom.

I chalk this up to a normal or wild orange rhodactis* though id love to see more photos.

I have many of these and similar to gump mushrooms. Bubbles come and go on them.

My mushroom has never looked like a carpet mushroom like yours pictured. When the lights are on or off it has larger bubbles. Mine also has what looks to be blue flesh under the orange bubbles
