    One of my red mushrooms got a bad sting by my frogspawn. I thought that it was far enough away to keep out of reach of it's sweeper tenticles and when I got home today after being out I noticed that it was all shrivled and the sweeper tenticle was touching it. I immediately moved the mushroom away, but will it be ok? I hear msuhrooms are pretty hardy and survive pretty much anything. Will it be fine? Will it open up again in a few days?

    It's pretty tough to kill a corallimorph. You may consider that either a good or bad thing depending on your level of experience ;)
