Mushroom eaters?
I am overrun with with blue and orange mushrooms and desperately need a natural solution.
I've tried needles with vinegar and hot water without success. I've pruned but the foot is so hard to get completely off and of course regenerate. I've got a Regal and Flame Angel but unfortunately they've been reef safe.

I have the same problem...I have found no solution that works all the time. I have one of those electrocution devices and it doesn't work either. Sometimes a power-head aimed at the mushrooms will make them detach and you can collect and sell/destroy from there.
If you come up with something that works..please share.

Can u take the rocks out of the tank? If so, you can torch them off with the handheld propane ones. Otherwise, cut them off and treat the foot with kalk paste like u would for aptasia. As with aptasia, treat only a handful per day... It will take a while. You can also bring your rocks into local stores and offer to trade them over for non 'infected' rocks
 . I did this for a while and cut my population down. I also had a heat spike a few years back and noticed the mushrooms substantially died off while the encrusting algae stayed, but this would kill things like zoos as well. Low 90f for ~24hrs was what knocked a lot of mine back.

I use Aiptasia-X to control my shrooms.
