Blue Mushroom Question

I have a blue mushroom and it recently moved about an inch from where it was attached to a rock. It left behind a piece of its "foot" that is a little bigger than 1/8" in diameter. I have heard that if they do this that piece will grow into another mushroom. I was wondering if anyone has had success with this before. Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Yes, alot of success with this form of asexual reproduction know as pedal laceration! Very common with mushrooms!

 

Thats awesome. I was thinking about trying to frag the mushroom over the weekend but Im super nervous about it because Ive never fragged anything before.

 

Just let nature take its course...
Pedal laceration and longitudinal fission are the most common forms of reproduction by mushrooms.
You could always cut it to frag the mushroom, but under favorable conditions, it will reproduce itself.

 

I have a red ricordia yuma that is doing the same thing. 11 babies in 3 months so far.

 

as you can see the first pic is my blue mushrooms. it started out with just 2 on that rock now there`s at lest 8-9 in only a few months i`ll try getting a bigger pic of them..second pic is my green ricordea that has almost finished splitting..

 

here is a better pic of the blue mushrooms.
