flamethrower mushroom??

[shcrimps]

so i got this as part of a trade and was told its a CB flamethrower bounce mushroom

there is some blue to it but (horrible picture) this thing looks super weird??? its super tiny
he showed me pictures of it next to the mother colony and more but why does it look like a nem lolol
it’s never moved around or anything and it opens/closes like a mushroom has all those defining features just crazy tentacles looking like a carnival hat

really does look like a nem but doesn’t act like one, every time i’ve touched it or moved it it very very slowly closes for a bit like the rest of my shrooms and once closed up like a ballon how my rhod. shrooms do after i feed them
it doesn’t really extend out with a stalk and it flatly opens up like a mushroom
either way it’s really funny looking and i love it
