Haven't tried this method on mushrooms, but it works well with aptasia. Use a 1 ml syringe with the needle on it. Turn off your water flow, fill the syringe with vinegar, poke the needle into the mushroom and inject the vinegar. Use two or three injections for each mushroom, depending on size. Keep water flow off for 5-10 minutes after injection so an vinegar that escapes the mushroom is still in the mushroom's vicinity.

I imagine with a bunch of dead and dying mushrooms, you will have to keep an eye on water quality.

I think if you remove all your rock and kill the rock/mushrooms that way, you will lose your bio-filtration and all heck will break loose with ammonia problems. An alternative to doing all the rock at once is doing some at a time.
