Icon14 umbrella mushroom behavior

I have had umbrella mushrooms in my tank for over 6 months now and have never witnessed what one of them did last night. The mushroom when fully open is about 6 inches across and is growing good. Have never seen it do this "frilly" thing with the mouth before, anyone know what it's doing? Stayed like this (see photo) for about a half hour, and then the white part when back in, opened up fully and looked normal again. Just curious.
