Fragging Shrooms and Mesenterial Filaments

Last week I fragged a rhodactis that was too big for my display.
I intentionally cut 2 pieces of disc only and 2 with filaments included.

The pieces with filaments are still alive although not exactly happy. They are currently resting in a custom made rubble box in my tank. The other pieces without the filaments melted after a few days.

Another shroom was attached to a rock that was going to end up permanently shaded so I decided to cut him away from the rock as close as possible. When I did this I noticed the filaments inside. This piece is also restingin my rubble box until it decides to attach to something.

Over at GARF.org I saw an article that advised fragging shrooms by snipping off a piece of the disc with scissors. This confused me because in my experience shroom frags appear to need some mesenteric filaments along to succeed. however I have noticed filaments radiating up into the disc in my rhodactis.

Would someone with more experience share with me how the filaments fit into the shroom fragging equation? Thanks.
 
I've never tried fragging them like that, I always just cut them off at the foot and whatevers left will grow a new mushroom.
