Just a few days ago, my mushroom coral shrank and hasn't opened up fully for about 3 days now.

It sometimes tries to open up and then curls back closed.

Every single coral in my tank is fully open except the mushroom.

Any solutions on what can be wrong?

Something might be bothering it. The only time any of my shrooms shrink is when they get stung by another coral or picked at by a fish. check what is close to it some LPS corals have sweepers that come out at night.

from my own experience with mushrooms might be
1) too much light / too much flow; try dropping it down in the shade might help
2) something wrong with water chemistry( something that you can't/don't test for) chemicals released by corals(leather/palytoxins;zoas,inverts(sea slugs,nudis,cucs) or from exhausted /under filtrated media purigen,phosguard aluminum based media.
