hidden zoos

[spacemonkey]

Hi, I have recently bought a colony of green mushrooms... they have been growing quite well and I'm pleased with that.
I noticed the other day that there are little zoos starting to grow underneth the mushrooms... is there a safe way i can remove the mushrooms to give the zoos light?
I don't think they could be getting near enough right now...

What i basically want to know is if there is anyway to remove the mushrooms the the piece of liverock i bought and place them elsewhere to give the zoos light... will they rip if i just try and pull them off??

YOu can actually cut them off and if you leave a section of the foot (the part that connects to the rock) they may actually grow back. THey can handle a bit of movement but it is somewhat easy to get them to connect back to a rock if you use a piece of bridal veil and wrap them with a rock with the veil. Be sure that when you take them off or cut them that they have a peice of the foot.
Possibly use a power head to agitate them and they may want to move on their own which will make them easy to take off on their own.
Any other opinions?

Are you sure they are zoos? Or could they just be baby mushrooms?

I think they are probably baby mushrooms. What my one mushroom live rock hitchhiker does now is pop off go somewhere new and another grows in the original spot. Bast_rds...

no I'm pretty sure there zoos they look like a sunflower with a bright orange center... there is only maybe 5 of them... the guy at the lfs said there may be some of them under there because the shrooms were located right beside a colony of zoos in his tank... I'll see if i can remove one or two shrooms and place them else where... can't pass up free zoos ya know... tks for your replies
