    Get a sharp razorblade and gently cut them off at their base.

    I just use a razor blade and try to make sure I cut / scrape the entire foot off.
    Make sure to give them away to friends or trade them with your LFS for store credit. :)

    If you have a lot, I would frag as many as you wanna get rid of and make a mushroom frag with a nice rock. What type of mushroom are they?
