I put a rubberband around the rock mine was attached to and made sure it lashed across the mouth of my shroom. It split within a couple of days.
It may not be the safest way, but it will work.

Depending on the size of the shroom you are fragging you can get two or 4 frags out of it, you cut straight across, like a pie, be sure to get at least a small piece of the mouth in each section, then place them in a small bowl on top of some ruble rock and seal it off with a piece of bridal vale secured with a rubber band and throw that in your frag tank, or the corner of your aquarium, the shrooms will attach to the rubble within a couple weeks at the most, then can be glued to larger pieces of rock, kind of a quick description but hopefully this helps to give you a better idea, also don't panic a shroom will do fine out of water for around 15 minutes, but the slime makes it a pain to handle lol!!

I could see him using a knife and dicing it up like garlic, but, I have to say he is kidding with the blender.
What I want to know is ...
#1 ... If I have a 1" diameter stalk with head, chop the head off, will the stalk stay 1" diameter or will the stalk still continue to grow outwards?
#2 ... how bad does the stalk look after its cut? Does it produce a horrid look for months?
#3 ... How long does the stalk take to heal to a normal looking head, with/without polyps?
#4 ... how long does it take to get to a natural aesthetically looking state again?

lol, yea, I saw the GARF page on cutting them up. Thing is, I wanted to keep the mother colony in my DT, but, if I am going to be chopping it up, I am curious as to how bad its going to look and for how long. That would determin how I would use and keep a show peice while chopping it all up.

I've heard of more than one person using a blender to frag mushrooms before. Just put a couple shrooms in the blender with some saltwater, give it just a couple quick blasts, you don't want a mushroom puree, put them in a low, low flow tank with plenty of crushed coral or rubble rock, and let them settle. You could also take a deli container, poke holes in the sides and top so the water flows through a little, and put the frag water in it with the rubble.
You should have tons of little baby mushrooms after a few weeks. Not the most celebrated way of doing this, but it's still an option.
