finally

[aspringer]

Finally my mushroom is splitting. I guess that's what ya call it. I am so happy I'm gonna be a daddy!

hmm.. that doesn't look normal to me. Almost looks like it's ripped apart. None of my mushrooms split like that, but i don't have those kind either. Normally the mushroom top itself doesn't split, a baby just grows from the base.

When I get home this evening ill post some more pics. I am a newbie so I really don't know what's going on. Thanks for your reply.

ouch... :uhoh3:...agree with crailtap25 on this one...
my shrooms don't split like that from the mouth, they tend to split off at the foot...something don't look rite to me

 

[sucker_fish]

definitely doesnt look right, looks like it got torn somehow.

How's the shroom?

Rhodactis do split like that. They start at the mouth. Learn...here's some progression shots.

Congrats, aspringer.
Another way they reproduce is by leaving a piece of 'foot' tissue that turns into a new tiny mushroom.

First thanks for replies. Well the shroom is doing fine, actually I think we may have triplets. I am having a hard time posting pics from my phone. I shall keep trying. Thanks

 

[burbarry]

yes that is how all of mine split

 

[miniwhinny]

I have the exact same 'shroom and about 3 weeks ago mine did the same thing...split like an anemone right at the mouth. I now have three fully healed "babies".

About 2 mths ago i had a large green hairy (3" dia) split just like that. At first i thought it was dying and then when it started to close up and heal i realized it was actually splitting. Took less than a wk. Now you never even know. Sorry, the pics are not that perfect.

Yeah rhodactis tends to split in half, and discosmas tend to just move and leave part of their foot behind.
