| Can mushrooms touch?
Someone at my lfs said they could. I have hairy mushrooms and 2 other kinds I don't know the name of. Here are pictures. I am planning on adding an anemone soon and I want to make sure the mushrooms can be closer together.  
There's 1 orange one to the lower left of the polyps. I don't have a close up shot of it.

Mushrooms can touch each other. I'm not postive on mushrooms and ricordia touching (ricordia being what you have pictured). But ricordia can touch ricordia.

Okay, that's good since it is my smallest one so it is easily movable.

Which is ricordia? All of it, some of it, which ones? I was told that all three kinds were mushrooms; reds, orange and hairy/green. Correct me if I'm wrong so I know what they are.

I must not have looked good enough, none appear to be ricordia. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I may have had a little too much to drink that night.
