Mushroom propagation

[Germanman]

they way i have found to be most effective for fraging mushrooms is to cut the "cap off and then split that into 4 even "pie" pieces and then let them attach to rocks themselves. if done right you get 5 out of one because the basal disk grows a new "cap".

amazing. so to speak mushrooms are not going to die, even when you cut them.

Can someome give me some intructions please, pics would be better.

PS. are they safe to touch?

 

[Germanman]

I have mushrooms all over the place, and I am constantly seeing little ones pop up. I am currently trying to physically remove them which is hard cause if you do not get it all, the piece will just float away and become a new mushroom. They are a nuisance in my new tank I inherited, and all I really have are, mushrooms, buttons and some type of Xenia I have not found out what it is yet. I will be postiung pictures next week with everything I need identified, by the experts since I am so new.
