Nope, the shrooms are easy. Low flow and med/low lighting and they should do fine.

The lighting they need really depends on your tanks proportions. I wouldn't worry too much about it as they can thrive even under normal output fluorescent lighting (unless your tank is very deep).
What do you have?

do you only have one 40 watt bulb? I would probably add a couple more.
