How to remove a mushroom from LR?

[westwind77]

Hello, I have a mushroom I need/want to remove from a piece of LR. What is the best way to do this without hurting the mushroom?
Thanks!

cut or peel it off. it may grow back though. you could cut it off and then squirt the spot with boiling water to destroy any leftover pieces.

I do not mind if it growns back on the rock, the piece of LR it is growing on has some algae on it and I am transfering some items to another aquarium but I do not want to transfter the LR. I want to be able to have the mushroom healthy enough to reattach itself somewhere in the new tank.

it tough to hurt a shroom, there so hardy. just peel it up and cut it off low at the base, then it will close up real small, then glue it somewhere else. you wont kill it

What should I use to glue it?

I always just stick loose mushrooms on/near a pile of rock rubble and they attach within a couple days, or you can use a dixie cup with rock in it and a cover over it if you want to make sure not to loose it.
