Cultivating Mushrooms

Hi All,

I was wondering what is involved in cultivating mushrooms. I have really nice red mushrooms and I have heard that the LFS does not always sell these. What do I have to do to make them multiply. Either in the tank or a seperate tank. Genuine help much appreciated.

the commonly accepted method is to

cut the mushie into small bits.... say 3 or 4mm square,

Prepare a shallow dish of say 5mm coral rock chucks, could be marble chips I guess. cover dish with the chips/bits etc

place the little bitty pieces of mushie onto these and cover with a fine netting.... think wedding viel - tie neeting down to dish so even if muchies float around they will at least stay trapped in dish till they attach.

tie viel to dish etc

Place in a low flow part of the tank and let gravity just hold them down, wait about 3-4 weeks

then the mushies will have attached to the little rocks.....

now glue the little rocks to where you want the mushines in your display tank with superglue gel.

or you could just feed them into your power heads :D

But i prefer the mushroom cluster look rather then the trifford takeover look!
