Shroom Operation

[howardj]

I thought my shroom looked like it was dying, so I decided to frag it.
(dying = later on figured that it was trying to get more light

)
I had everything ready to frag:
Shroom
Rock
Razor
Netting
Rubberband
Plastic cup to keep shroom in
I cut it.. It didn't go all the way through!

I ran to grab some scissors and just cut the shroom off.
It has been a week since I have fragged it, and tried to get it to attach.
It did NOT attach,but rather, grew a new head.
Conclusion: My one fragged shroom turned into two loose shrooms.

I am now trying to attach them to a bigger rock

Just thought I'd share

I want to frag my shroom but they are so big and beautiful i am afraid of killing it or somthing

i know i'm waiting for one to become two before i give one the snip. i really like it it's a red and blue striped.

They are nearly impossible to kill. They can def get stressed but as far as damaging them physically to the point of no return would take a lot. I have accidentally fragged 2 of mine by tearing them when adjusting LR, and the rest spread like wild fire.. I currently have a rock of super reds where the one in the middle is spotted flourc blue. Really odd seeing that all the others are just red..

There is a guy on here that put mushrooms in a blender and got them to propagate that way. So yeah they are quite hardy I would say!

I know it was crazy, I just fragged my first shroom a few weeks ago Razor blade down the middle into the bowl on the bottom of my tank with sand in it and now I have 2 that were bigger than the original one I cut! Its crazy.
