mushrooms in a blender

Me too... although I have this sense that this story ends more like a dark comedy than a happy ending...
 
I want to follow this thread, too.

Didn't the blended mushrooms make a stinking mess? Yerk.

For those who think mushrooms must be protected from harm, should no manual propagation be performed? What about snapping a fragment off of a hard coral? I don't mean to hijack the thread, but this intrigues me.

I added three adult mushrooms to that system and I checked it today and they were open. I did that just to make sure that the water is fine with tempreture and air. There is no sign of any floating skinns or anything else.
 
I never tried the blender thing. I am guilty of taking a razor and chopping them into many many tiny pieces(maybe a little bigger than what you describe, but not much) and dumping them into a 10 gal tank with gravel to attach to and a powerhead for circ. It worked pretty well. I'm not sure every tiny piece transformed into a shroom, but I managed to put together several good sized colonies from just a few shrooms.
In the end though I'm not sure it was any better/quicker than any other method of propogation. It took a long time for the little pieces to become large enough to mess with.

Do you guys think that is a time to run the system? I was thinking to run the system but not the skimmer. Advices are always welcome and if we got to a point to split ideas I can always devide the system (lol).
 
I checked the system and I can't find anything on the rocks. It is kinda early to see any but I will turn the system on tomorrow and will keep the skimmer off.
 
zooqi, I don't know much about this , but if you turned the system on and lets say the mushroom bits were not attached yet, wouldn't they go into the water circulation and then they would have to settle and begin to attach all over again?

Like I said I don't know anything about this type of stuff, but if that is true, then maybe you should make sure they actually are attached before you turn the water movement on.

hmm...interesting. I think i'll be following this too. Wouldn't you think though, if this was a proven method, why wouldn't coral famers just do this. Blend a couple hundred shrooms, dump up into a big vat full of pieces of rock and *walla* ! Or...unless they do =P
 
"walla"

*giggle*

It's voila! ~ a French interjection pronounced vwä-'lä.

Seems to me there would be more loss than gain by "blending" the mushrooms. It takes more than just a couple of days for freshly cut mushrooms to grow a foot and attach to something, and I'm sure itty bitty bits would take a really long time. I think I'm sticking to the scissors and razor blade methods.

Plus, my husband is a pretty understanding guy, but I'm sure he'd draw the line at putting 'shrooms in the Cuisinart. :D I'm not sure I'd ever feel it was clean enough again for human food, anyway. Eecch.

Good luck!

At first I thought you were talking about one of those stupid blender aquariums with the goldfish.<P><HR><H4><font color=blueviolet>Did you puree or frappe?
