Superman Mushroom
I have several superman mushrooms on my rocks. I'm willing to part with a few, but I have no frag plugs or glue at the moment.
Let me know here that you're interested and if anyone would like one I'll pick up some plugs and glue and such and start my fragging career. If anyone wants to bring a plug and glue or just pick up an unmounted one let me know. And just so you all know... until a few months ago if anyone said fragging, I would have immediately thought of that as throwing a frag grenade.
EDIT - Assumed I would be able to frag these guys. I was wrong. Have placed some items for them to attach to near where they're growing. Once they attach to those things I will have some frags and update this!
DOUBLE EDIT (August 2011) - Got three frags from a rock today. They are on rock rubble.

Re: Superman Mushroom
Oh, and these mushrooms aren't your typical mushrooms. They require some different things. They're semi-aggressive and require moderate lighting. What kind of lighting do you have Yuma?

Re: Superman Mushroom
I took two plugs off of the frags I got yesterday so I'll go ahead and get you both an actual frag made up. I'll have them waiting for you. Just let me know when you want them.

Re: Superman Mushroom
Epic fail on fragging the mushrooms just now. These mushrooms don't expand when they get agitated. They withdraw... a LOT... like... you can barely see them. One withdrew all the way under the rock. I could barely see the edge of him. These things are crazy... I tried to get one that's base was on a spike coming out from the rock and he basically disintegrated.
I'm such a noobie.

Matt, mushrooms aren't easy to frag or remove. The best way I've found is to take the rock out and chisel a small piece of rock out from under them and then you can glue the rock chip down on whatever you want. They just make a mess if you try to cut them off then you have a bunch of cut up mushrooms. Here's a video I saw a while back but I've never tried it. Get some good practice, you'll be needing to pluck some of those hairy mushrooms before long.

Fantastic! Well... I guess my plan for getting you guys a frag changes a little bit. I'll try to find a way.

Re: Superman Mushroom
I've strategically placed a frag plug to hopefully get a new one on it soon. I did get one of those kenya trees out of there and on a plug.

Re: Superman Mushroom
I tried getting those guys off the rock and failed miserably. Ended up just putting some plugs in the sand bed right below them. Now I'll just wait patiently for them to make some babies.

Re: Superman Mushroom
I'm going to try to get some of these again. I have a few that are stretching for light and I believe I can get a pair of pliers on them.
But obviously... only if someone wants some at the meeting.

Re: Superman Mushroom
Successfully snagged 3 of these guys. They're on rock rubble. Can be swapped *ONLY* at the August meeting (see there... I'm forcing you to go to the meeting if you want the frag! lol).
I also have a green striped mushroom. I believe a "watermelon" mushroom. Also available. First to post in this thread and attend the meeting get it. If you can't attend, if any are available afterwards I'll give them out then.

Re: Superman Mushroom
I've got two superman mushrooms that have come unattached from my rock. They're free floating, so you'll have to attach them yourself. One might be attached to a shell. Post in this thread if you're interested.
