What about cutting them off and using a small Stainless Steel toothbrush to scrub off the remainder. Just a thought I have not tried this.

I was hoping for someone to tell me of some way to kill them where they are without having to chip away rock or remove it, as you can see in the picture, the two monti's have encrusted the rock that the mushrooms are on.

Can't you get a pair of snips and wire brush in there?
They make them in toothbrush size.

You might be able to convince then to move by aiming a powerhead at them. I have removed them with a sharp razor before too.

Good luck.

The powerhead is a good idea. If that doesn't work is it possible to peel them off? I noticed when I took a razor to mine they just happily grew babies from whatever tissue was left on the rock. (which was my intent at the time, so good thing, lol)

Could also try grabbing the base of the mushroom with forceps and pull them off the rock. Needs to be done with a quick motion, not slow and easy.
