I have have a few random red and blue mushrooms on a rock, that found themselves homes without my help. I woke up to a nice surprise to them there.

Blueish/Purpleish Mushrooms

And I added the red mushrooms to the rock, they were floating around the tank, needing a home.... and I just added a green striped to it tonight...
