A single bulb seems too low to me, but a twin tube fluorescent should be fine. I have mine under PCs, so they definitely don't need MH.

In 11" of water, you may get away with the single for some mushrooms but I agree with Hailey, a double would be better. Metal halides would be overkill (maybe literally) for mushrooms. The only mushrooms that require high intensity lighting are ricordea, and even then MH over 11" of water would probably be extreme.
So many species, so little money!

| YES. Easily. Just keep up on small frequent water changes.
