    Hey Chris, next time you cut a shroom make sure you use some goggles ;D, anyway i'll wait for mine to reproduce on their own for now, may be one day i'll cut them w/ a machete and wear a welder mask for protection :D :D ;D :), just a joke OK. how many types of shroms do you have?.

    Hey robert, in my LFS they show me how one way to remove them, just simply place your nail under the shroom and scrape it carefully, then place it where you want it to attach then you glue it or tide it or just press on it w/ you finger.
    Hope this help some

    They'll split by themselves, but it takes time. I noticed that one of mine split into a few more when I had my lights off for a while when I was battling GHA. Maybe the darkness helped. I also cut a coupld rhodactis in half when I got them and the halves healed up really quickly and are complete shrooms within a month. I've got some blues and some insane reds that I'm scared to cut in half though. lol
