Bounce Mushrooms ID

Hi

I am wondering if these 2 mushrooms would be considered bounce mushrooms. And does anyone know what country they come from?

Thanks
Andy

Andy I've never one in person yet, but all the pics I've seen the polyps are fuller like little balloons, but it could be with the polyps just deflated. I don't know if he is on these boards, but I would reach out to Tony Vargas because I believe he saw and took pics of the real deal one. I know he is on RC. We met him a couple of years ago at a LIRA meeting as well as at NERAC.

I don't think so Andy. The only real "Bounce Mushroom" is from wwc. People will try to call any mushroom that has bubbles on it a bounce just to try to sell it for hundreds.
Here's the real wwc bounce http://blog.aquanerd.com/2014/07/wwc-bounce-mushroom.html

Thanks Mike and Joe, I also think these are yuma ricordia . It seems "Bounce "mushrooms are Rhodactis with crazy bubbles
