    Hi Chris – you can reach him without issues. I suppose you could use the opportunity to frag it? Slice him into 4’s directly through the center.

    what you can do Chris

    is to place it on a rock, and secure it with some fine netting strip just tight enough to hold it in place, keep it in an area of low flow so it does not get blown off the rock

    you dont need the netting if you can put a decent plastic wall around it
    a tupperware or similar container with rock in and the shroom placed on the rock will also work in many cases

    it will secure itself and then you can place where you like
