I sounds to me like your lighting is a bit lacking. Do you know the spectrum of your 27 watt florescent tubes? Shrooms don't need extreme lighting but I think a slight upgrade would help considerably. I run a dual 30" balast with a marine glow and a power glow, an 18" 420 actinic, and a dual incandesent balast with 2x 23watt energy savers over my 54 gallon tank. and my corals are doing fine. (Energy saver bulbs run around 5500K to 6500K depending on the brand) I get about 3-4 hours of direct to indirect sunlight in my house that probly helps too.
If any of this info helps I'm glad to give it!
