How long would you say to go from an edge cut to a whole shroom.

edge cut, maybe 4-8 weeks it will be a mini version, then its just growth time.

guessing I would say over 30 at least thought they are TINY most are just little green specks, a couple red specks too. time will tell the tale on this one if I end up with 50 regular size shrooms i'll call it a true success, if I end up with only a couple then its really not worth the time.

 

[scotts]

Ahh yes, but if get 50 this time AND you could do this with ricordea mushrooms...... that would make it worth your while.

i just had a thought! could you put a sponge in a blender and eventually have your tank filled with sponges. (i know it would be hard not to expose them to air but it would be worth it)

 

[ric maniac]

oh, and i am super bored so i compiled a list of corals that could possibly be put into a blender with success:
yellow fiji leather coral, toadstool mushroom, colt coral, devil's hand leather, cabbage leather, thing finger leather, spagetti finger leather, blushing finger leather coral, all mushrooms, and maybe a carnation coral. like i said, really bored. lol

 

[mike22cha]

I'm suprised not more people are going to try this.

I trust RZ enough to let him go at it alone...

That's comforting to know since I'm setting up a 20g for this expirement. And I'm about to spend all my cash on lights for the mushrooms.

If I was doing it I would get Currents 96 Watt T5 lighting... It'll run you around $140 I think and you could have any softies you wanted and some LPS. I love mine.

I dont really remember honestly... I just googled "avatar" and started digging around and found it. There are tons of sites out there that have nothing but these things. Makes you wonder why and who spends their time making and posting them.
