How much water did you put in the blender with the muchrooms? And was the water freshwater or saltwater?

the water was marine water from the tank that they came out of. I blended them and then drip acclimated and screened (read as used a shrimp net to catch particles but keep from throwing in the "slime") lots of picking I got a bunch of gobs out, but still a bunch of the stress slime went into the tank.
I did not measure how much water it was, probably about one cup or less (it was about 1/2 inch in a specimen container)

How long was the mushroom in your tank befor you put it in the blender, can you go to the LFS and get a mushroom and on the first day blend it up?

This is so cool! I can't wait to see how they do/don't progress. I'm thinking tho that if others have tried it and it worked for them, soon you will have a tank full of little baby mushrooms. Maybe even some mixed new varieties. Wouldn't that be cool........lol!

I used to be a high school science teacher, and I applaud your experiment and think it will work. But I would count points off for that "American" word et. No way Jose. I would give you 100 points for being so creative, 10 points extra if the experiment works, but minus 10 point for terrible grammar! Just cutting up with you! But I won't ever say et, lol. I'll be keeping track of this. I think it's wonderful!
