One thing you could try is once you've cut it off at the base and relocated it...then you could boild some RODI water and using a turkey baster, blast the spot multiple times with boiling water which might kill the original stem.

No guarantees, but it will take some time to re-grow anyways.

Other people here may have suggestions too.

I would re-consider doing more...the replacement coral will probably get attacked by the reforming mushroom. In order to get rid of them, you basically need to sterilize.

try puting flow sideways on it, then use plastic spoon to detach its foot, pretty much like anemone work. to get rid of it or any mushroom, squirt some vinegar right in its mouth. not too many at once and not too often, throws ph off.
