Can Toadstool Leather have 'fungus'?

The top of my new toadstool leather coral seems to have some blotches on it that don't seem native. It's almost like a fungus. Does anyone know what this is? Is it preparing to shed?

I'd hate to be a bother, but could you post the picture again? For some reason I can't enlarge pictures or click on links if they're in the first post in a thread.

My leathers would always shed when there was a change in water parameters. They would shrink up a bit and go a blue redish color. It's hard to tell from that picture what is going on
