If I remember right, I think that the Seachem Phosguard has aluminum or some chemical in it that toadstools aren't fond of. Try removing it and see if it perks up in a bit. Adding some carbon couldn't hurt either. Could also be it is shedding or there is some chemical warfare going on.... Mine goes through a week every once in a while when it shrivels up and looks like absolutely dreadful, like it is going to die then it comes back looking better than ever for no apparent reason.
