    I was wandering if anyone has any success in netting mushrooms, for proprogation? I have an awesome metallic green mushroom I want to split and put on a few more rocks.

    Cut it off of the rock it's attached to. The leftover flesh will generate a new 'shroom.

    Cut the 'shroom into halves, quarters, whatever.

    Fill a clean peanutbutter jar lid 1/3 full of small rubble pieces.

    Drop the cuttings in and cover the lid with veil. Secure with a rubberband. Place in a low flow, good light area of your tank until cuttings attach to small rocks.

    When the cuttings attach to small rocks, glue the small rock to a big rock and make a 'shroom rock.
