The crown and the trunk part of leathers are connected and would not seperate by itself(IMO)and if it did, it would happen over time, not all of a sudden

but yes, the leather can still live after being cut in half, and the polyps may still extend.

Guessing some type of fragging inexperience as well. For the toadstool to be that big in diameter, it should have had a taller stalk then it did.
Just separate the two pieces and hopefully you'll end up with two toadstools!

leathers need lots of flow. increase flow and put it on a rock somewhere it has a pretty good chance of surviving.

Agree with this... The head can grow a new stalk and the stalk can grow a new head.
I had a toadstool where the stalk looked rotten so I clipped it off almost to the head and it has grown a new stalk and thriving.

ok thats what i figured. i ened up leacing the head in and taking the stalk out. i took the stalk out and smelled it. it was obviously dead. haha

Good luck, I'm sure it will grow back like the other guys did.
