Slicing mushrooms in half
Just realized I posted in the wrong section earlier. Can I slice a mushroom in half while it’s still attached to its original rock? Or will the two halves fuse back together? Thanks

If you slice it should turn into two mushrooms just be sure to give it a quick dip after cutting to help prevent infection.

Remember that a mushroom will reproduce by itself. Mushrooms walk around buy very slowly and as they do a small section of the foot will tears off and make new mushrooms. My mushrooms do that quite regularly. Some more than others.

it might turn into two or it might fuse back together.
years ago I did an experiment where I put several coralimorphs into a blender and dumped the resulting sludge into a tank. needless to say within about 6 months the tank was extremely over-run with mushrooms. (this tank was dedicated for this purpose) it was pretty cool. |

I wonder if anyone would be brave enough to do this to a jawbreaker? |
I cut a very large Amplexidiscus in half, both halves survived. When I initially pulled the parent from my tank it left behind a half dozen or so small spots on the rockwork, and most of them survived.

I've cut them before...but I feel like they can pop off little babies just as quick as waiting for them to heal enough to be cut again.
But to answer your question, I've never seen them fuse back together. If you can get them to reattach to one another...then start fusing different colored mushrooms together and become a millionaire! |
with coralimorph, it's been proven time and again, pretty much any amount of flesh can recover and create another coralimorph under proper conditions. recovery time is greatly increased when a piece of the mouth is attached to the segment in question.

They will typically fuse back if they are still touching. Can try and get thin plastic to keep seperate for a week til starting to heal

Hoping it will still be there years from now. If I remember to update the card when the current card expires. [emoji849] Google calendar works for that. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk |
