    Pics please
    It maybe just exposing its guts, I have had mine do it and come out of it just fine.

    Pics will help us help you.

    One of mine did that when I first got it. Two weeks later it doubled it's size.

    Without pics it's tough to say for sure... Sounds like everyone is about right on exposing it's guts. This usually happens when they are irritated. Could be getting used to the tank, or something was added they did not like. Way back when, after putting my first mushroom in my first tank, the lfs said I should dose something to balance ph. It was a powder, and I just measured and powdered it into the tank. I know stupid, but I did not know better then. The mushrooms all did this because they were irritated by the powder.
