    Just a quick question.
    One of my mushrooms were knocked to the bottom and landed face down, when I flipped it over, 3/4 of it decayed but a small piece looked OK. I've seen how people frag them by slicing into pieces, just wondering if they heal up from something like this. Thanks

    You can use a small acrylic container with rock rubble until it attaches(usually takes around a week or two to let it firmly attach).
    O r you can just find a lower flow area of the tank and just drop it.
    I have even just smooshed them into a hole.It makes them reproduce like weeds.lol
    As long as there is a piece of its mouth present you can split them into pieces.Just like slicing up a pizza.:)

    Thanks. As of today the piece that was left looks like it will survive.
