    If it's stuck to a big rock cut it off at the base , then place it in a small container with small rocks in a low flow area and bs sue to put some kind of screen on so your shook doesn't fly away

    Check back on shroom in a few weeks , glue the bonded rock wherever you want

    it's darn near impossible to kill mushrooms. where ever you cut it from, you will almost always end up with another mushie or two. thats what i've seen

    How do you want to move it? Just to new locations or move it off a piece of rock

    Use a sharp razor at the base, then a stiff plastic brush over the area they were stuck to.

    I have had luck nuking them with kalk paste injected into them with a syringe. Well, the fuzzy shrooms succumbed that that, but the green striped ones are much more difficult to kill.
