I often wonder if my water is too low on nutrients, only my forest fire shrooms have babies all others are slow to.grow and nothing else.
What are your parameters far as Nitrates and Phosphates?
Par at mushroom level?
Age of tank?
My bounces didn't really start blowing up, getting any real color until I raised my Nitrates to around 15-20. Phosphates around 1ish. You definetely don't want phosphates to be low or bottom out or they won't do good for you. Id shoot for .05 at least.
My shrooms are sitting under anywhere from 75-125 par.
They will tell you where they like to be under the light. They will cup and stretch up in too little light.
Or they will lay down flat is where I like to judge mine with having enough light.
Some mushrooms can't get enough and require more light.

Yeah, my nitrates are 10ppm or velow, salifert and its the low test looking through sideways. Phos is at 0.04 to 0.06 hanna, started feeding some more this week. Tank year plus and I'd say par is 100 or less, just running blues at the moment and have had some stretching zoas.

Parameters look good. Some shrooms do like a little more Nitrates but its probably your spectrum.
I'm running brs reccomended light schedule for softies with my particular lamp with a slightly elevated violet channel. Still alot of white in it.
