For about a week now my mushroom and duncan just went south. The heat wave took ny tank to 88F. Got some bleach birdsnest. Anywho things are back to normal this mushroom didn't change during the heat. Now however it just went on sleep mode. Same with my Duncan. The mushroom shrank and keeps pooping from many tiny mouth now all over its body and the middle. All same color stringy glowing poop.

So whats happening is its expelling either its mesenterial filament or its zooxanthella.

Try lower lighting and lower flow it might be too late at this point. High Heat and lighting hurt shrooms

I had a orange yuma do this It eventually just melted away. Mine was due to high lighting between two lights at a cross point causing it to bleach.
