First off i would like to say that if you have to many shrooms and are just looking to get rid of them from your tank i would be more than happy to take them off of your hands (pay shippping ect.). To get rid of them permanently all you have to do is first cut the shroom away from the stalk with a pair of scissors. Once the head has been removes get a razer plade and scrape the rest of the foot off of the rock. Chances are that it will not grow after that. More than likely it will float under a rock or get lost in a shaded area of your tank were it will not get sufficient light and die off. I am a student at Ball State University in Muncie Indiana and trying to set up a mushroom tank your contribution to my tank would be highly appreciated. Let me know waht you think and i will set you up with my e-mail if you are interested. Good luck with thinning out your reef.
