shifting mushroom possible?

[Marinedisc]

Just wondering whether is it possible to shift or transfer mushrooms from the rock they are rooted to another? Cos I've enough LR in my tank so and did not wish to add any more rocks. If it is possible, how to go about it?

[FuEl]

Just hold the rock upside down and using a sharp scissors (preferably surgical type), cut them mercilessly but cleanly at the stem. Both pieces will grow back into perfect mushrooms.

I am also intending to do that but are you sure it is safe? I mean will the mushroom die? and how do you attach them to another rock? epoxy?

use tweezers and twist them off . use a netting to cover the mushroom and the rock to hold them in place

It is not 100% that they wont die if u do it ..

Base on what u can provide them ..

Example: When they are being snip off, during that time they would require slow water current if not a layer of slime will build up and melt away ur mushroom..

The type of mushrooms u intend to propogate or " slice"

Dose very little of iodide/iodine would help in recovering ..

It wont work for a short time span unless the mushroom itself is already stress out .. unless u intend to face it at a PH for more than 2hrs ,...
