Mushroom question....
How do mushrooms reproduce? I bought some from a LFS, and about a week after i got them home, something goofy started to happen. It was like it was getting eaten from the inside out, looked like it was gong white. I watched it for a few days as it got smaller, and when i got home from work today it looks like (i could be wrong) that i now have 2 seperate mushrooms. Kinda odd, there is still some white residue on them. Input would be great.

they reproduce mainly by splitting. in a healthy tank you can just about chop one to pieces and have that many new ones,,
My Reef is Alive and well Despite My repeated Daily attemps to kill it!!
I got mine on a frag swap in ayugust, and withinb a month it started acting weird. It's cap stayed real high to where you could see the base. Then the base started to look like it was blistering. It had bubbles all around the sides of it. Then it suddenly when back to normal overnight. A week later I noticed these little blobs on my rock. A couple weeks later those blobs that cam from the bubble sprouted caps. Now they have grown into full grown shrooms. Pretty Cool.
Next time I'll take pictures.

Easy to frag also. I've got about 5-6 different colors/variations....they may be "common", but I love mine.
