How do i kill blue/purple mushrooms?

can i use joe's juice?
background: i bought two loose purplish blue mushrooms. i attached them to a rock about the size of a deck of cards. they got huge and i fragged them for a friend. i now have about 11 on that rock. i perched the rock between two larger rocks and 2 mushrooms migrated off to the larger rocks. i want to kill these because i know they will spread like crazy. i was thinking either joe's juice or fragging the renegades and putting aquastik epoxy over the cut off base so they won't grow back. i now have the rock in the sand hoping the rest will stay put.
anybody with experiences or thoughts?

Haha yeah, frag em and ship them out! I'd love a shroom myself.
Frag em then scrub them off. Or maybe try the boiling water thing. But definately dont destroy them all together.

I got the same problem here. I usually just scrape em off with a butter knife. or place a rock on top of them untill they let go. then give em away.

If you don't want the bother of shipping them put to folks like me who would love some, sell them or trade them at an LFS near you. Don't kill them.

i won't destroy the ones on the main rock. i'm just worried about the two buggers that moved off of it onto larger rocks in the tank. i don't want blue mushroom tank.

I sure wish mine would reproduce. I frag mine and wind up loosing them. what are you using when you frag them to glue them down?? me

They gotta be the same ones. they are Very fast at growing and reproducing. I originally bought a pebble with 3 on it and now 1 year later, I have them EVERYWHERE!!! On the glass, on hermit crabs, floating around, there must be about 40 in total. the group pictured is only a small chunk of them.
