Baby Mushroom

[mproctor4]

This is probably a silly question but I have never had mushrooms before. The foot of one of my mushrooms has a section that is really stretched and looks like it about to break off. There is also a couple of small bumps in the middle of that piece. I know you can cut mushrooms up and they will reproduce but can they also reproduce this way?

I never cut one to frag it...but I have seen my green stripe mushrooms split like that. My true blue mushrooms grow little babies on the side of the rock and grow out from there.

Thanks! I was hoping they were spliting. It looks like 2 little bumps, maybe I'll get lucky and get 2 little mushrooms. I don't have the nerve to cut them---they will split when they are ready. I don't know why it bothers me, I'm a nurse--cut and poke things all the time, just not the mushrooms!! Gives me the willies.
