I was hoping to see more replies here as well hehe, I have some hairy shrooms that have taken over a rather large rock and wondering myself how to remove them

manual removal with your hand or chip them away from the rock with a screwdriver. you can sometimes coax mushrooms away by brushing under them slowly and pulling the foot away. the colt and other softies you will have to gently pull away from the rock, they will rip but should live if they are healthy. gsp.. is a write off. xenia might be able to be pulled off, if not it will move it's self into the light from a behind rock. the zoos i would chip a chunk of the rock away underneath unless they are in a mat, if so you can usually slip your finger beneath and start to pull the sheet away like peeling wallpaper. you will need to have some gel super around after to reattach them to something else or they will float away.

hope that helped.
