white "worms" on base of shrooms

[dbraun15]

I have had my problems the last month with my zoas, leathers, shrooms, and rics after I fed my LPS cyclopeeze for the first time--everything is on the up and up--zoas, leathers, GSP all open and improving--my main problem is my shrooms--I have a red mushroom rock that the mushrooms have remained shriveled for the last few weeks--the last couple days I have noticed what looks like white "worms" on the base of the shriveled shrooms--they are still reproducing and the new babies are opening full and look healthy, but no the older ones--they just won't open--I have had the shrooms for about 6 months and haven't had problems previously and haven't added anything new--what should I do--would a dip do them some good to get rid of the white stuff? Or is there a better alternative? Water params are 0 trate, trite, ammonia, 8.3 Ph--thanks for your help--I do dose reef solution "trace elements" and marine snow 2X/week. Thanks in advance to your response--

Most likely they are just mesenterial filaments....mushroom guts.

Thanks, Travis--Should I do anything to them, such as pick them off? Dip them? Are they anything to be concerned about? Or just let nature take its course--

Just let nature run its course.
