Personally I just stick em in my tank, but acclimating them properly is the recommended method. I would drip acclimate them for an hour. Try to match the water there sitting in, whith the tank water for best results. But as I said, I dont' acclimate them in my setup, mushrooms are usually cheap, I've never paid much for one, and there extremely hardy for the most part. Just don't give em too much flow or too much lighting and when kept at optimal conditions, expect to be fragging them alot.

lol tk, I think you nailed it on the head with that comment.
Just FYI though, as hardy as they can be, I often loose my shrooms when trying to frag em. don't know what it is about the shrooms in my tank, but they like to brown jelly up on me when fragged. Nothing else in my tank does this, but the shrooms just don't like being manually cut. The norm that I hear is that you can take a shroom, stick it in a blender, and throw the contents in the tank to seed em everywhere, lol, but I wouldn't try that myself. Their hardiness can vary per tank, but as a general rule of thumb, their bulletproof litter buggers.
