mushrooms in a blender

[zooqi]

I read that you can put them in a blender with some water from the tank and then pour them in the tank and you will see alot of them. I have checked the past threads about that but I want to know if anybody really tried it and how did it go. I might go for it and do it tonight.

I don't really know if it would work or not but if it does I hope you really like mushrooms. I have to work at keeping mine from spreading to much the way it is.

Never heard of anything like this being successful.

I would be more inclined to believe someone taking a mushroom and slicing it with a knife before I would someone liquefying mushrooms .......

 

[manderx]

i've heard of people using a razor blade or scissors to cut them in halve/quarters. some lived, some died...i wouldn't bother. just give them time as is and you'll have more than you ever wanted anyway...

I took some mushrooms and made sure that the blinder is clean and washed it many times. I added water from the tank to it and put different color Mushrooms in it and made Mushroom joice. It turned red and had some foam in the top. I put some true red Mushrooms in it and that's why it was red. I took them to one of the propagation systems and turned it off and pured the whole ingrediant to that system. The white things disapeared and I saw small pieces of mushroom that were the size of the litter "o" in penny where it says "ONE PENNY" and some of them were smaller. They floated first but I moved the water a few times and they went down to the bottom where small pieces of rocks are. I will check it and will update you guys once a week.

My preferred technique is to put mushrooms in a blender, liquify them and then flush them down the toilet.

They still come back.

i have heard somewhere of doing something like this with sponges. i would like to have a tank with just shrooms and maybe a fish in it. 10-20 gal . how do you think you can do this and not have the pieces removed via protein skimming. please keep us posted , justin

 

[zooqi]

The whole system is off and nothing is running except an air stone in one corner and as I have heard that you should have the lights off to. It said that you have to do that for a week untill they attach and then you can turn the whole system on. Last night I did the same process with another color Mushroom (blue) and the water changed color to blue and a while bluish foam in the top. I heard somewhere that the blinder will smell or it will smell bad but nothing and it smelled better than any joice I make (lol).. The mushrooms have a clear coat like plastic on them and I can see them still floating in the sump and they won't go down.

ouch

ouch

That doesn't sound fun to me -

The sponge this is true, and coraline algae can be sraped and blended, but can a mushroom regenerate from such a tiny fragment? interesting, but my conscience would prevent me from trying.

Then why do you have an aquarium? Face it... being human causes harm.

I looked closer to the rocks and I can see some spots and is good to know that they are still the same color and not white. I will keep watching them and hope they don't get spots. I turned the heater off so it slows down the bacteria growth on the cut pieces.

Just a note.. those spots are not new,, they are the pieces of the mushrooms that landed on the rocks. Is too early to see any new spots.

Just hitching a ride to see how it ends up.

I remember hearing about someone who did that because he wanted the whole bottom of the tank to have a carpet of mushrooms instead of sand or bare bottom. Don't know what happened though.

 

[Mildewy]

me too...maybe i can get some rainbow shrooms...
