use a putty knife,and slowly scrape the bottom part of the shroom,where the attachment is.Hope that helps.

Oh!what i did was to scrape the underside of the shroom lightly until you see an openning.From there on,you work towards the dettachment.This also helps me to detach anemone.Putty knife is not sharp,so should'nt slit the shroom.Other methods??? maybe other reefers could help.

do u have a pruning shears for plants? the type that is sharp on both blades. cut into the rock just below the mushroom stem. this way u dont hurt the mushroom n u can give this to ur friends or sell

Have fun
