I get random mushrooms in the soil of potted plants from time to time. I always take them out, as I dont want chameleons to eat them.
However, I do take a spore print to identify them(its fun stuff) and if you really, REALLY, REALLY want this particular mushroom, I could send you the prints. I have no idea what it is though...

That's great I would love it what kind of substrate was it growing on?

as what I am reading on them they don't see to harmful they have a possibility to spread like wild fire but I like it if I put them in their own little pot or something.

Heck I'd put up oak branches everywhere if they spread well that'd be awesome do you happen to know if live oak is the only thing they'll grow on? That is the real glow in the dark shrooms that is

research wise it seems recreating natural environment wet logs so maybe if it is damp enough I would think it would grow great, but with just logs I would worry about white mold growing as well. I tested these on sand blasted grape vines they will grow but the vine has to be damp and I've noticed since they are decently damp white mold started growing as well had to use a tooth brush and brush all of it off with hot water and let it dry out a little.

So hmm I just hate to spend $30 and have them not work how long do the shrooms last before they shrivel away?

you can harvest them off the log, dry them out and keep them for years, bring them out at a later date mist them with water and the glowing returns. Once the log is growing mushrooms you don't have to reseed it, it will continue to grow mushrooms for many years until the mushrooms eat up all the cellulose and nutrients in the log.
