    So, i have a freaking ton of mushrooms just kind of floating around in my tank. I hate to just throw them out, what's the best method of gathering them up and attaching them to something so i can sell/give them away?

    Anyone's wondering they're metallic green stripped mushrooms

    Poke holes in a water bottle and put some rubble in there with the shrooms.

    You can put a bunch in a bag and send them to me LOL;D

    Get some bridal veil or tulle and some LR rubble or bigger pieces. Put the shrooms against the rock and gently but securely wrap the cloth around the whole thing and secure with a rubberband. Put them in your tank in a medium flow/light area. The shrooms will attach to the rock in about 2-4 weeks.

    That's what i've got.... the only thing i've got unfortunately. My lighting sucks but they did plenty fine under it, i had a PC running for a few months before it burned out which definitely helped start the growth.

    oh i have a ton of them, they've pretty much covered all my live rock so they just simply don't have a place to grab onto except the sand and glass. one even found its way onto my magnet scraper...
