Can Mushrooms Walk?

[Brad Gardner]

I acculmated two small mushrooms on a piece of small rock and when I was placing them in the tank they fell from hand and went between two rocks. There is NO light where they ended up and I can barely see them. It is impossible to retrieve them without taking most of the rocks out.

Question: Can mushrooms move on there own and if so, will they find the light?

Thanks,

Brad

Or try a turkey baster to blow water through other holes in the rock and hopefully eject the shrooms to withing grabbing distance.

Or find some tiny little shoes for them.

Seriously, I have had them do this and they always end up growing and thriving.

SPC's got it right. If you're talking about the simple purple/green mushrooms (not hairy), then I don't think you could kill them if you tried, short of boiling them in bleach.

Thanks all! They are not the hairy kind but are the standard brownish/blue

Steve you say you just left them alone once they fell into the abysis and they survied and thived without doing anything?

Cool

Thanks again all,

Brad

When I put in a green hairy mushroom it did the same exact thing. The guy who gave it to me told me that when HE got a green mushroom it disappeared for three weeks, showed back upa nd has beend oing fine ever since.

So even though it's gone right now maybe it'll show back up, there no telling.

I'm interestd in anyone else's experiences with this!
