These are prolific.
You really have to watch placement and light levels like GSP.
Beautiful for sure and an easy sell.
If you sell the rock, you should be able to buy some nice new fresh rock for what you get...

I have never had much luck ingetting rid of these once established and nothing seems to be able to win when it comes to chemical warfare.

I tried kalk, didnt work.
tried scrubbing, didnt work.

I wound up killing them through light deprivation.
In retrospect, I should have just sold the rock.

How come I never thought of just selling or trading the rock. That's a brilliant idea, gobytron. I have to reconstruct my rockwork to remove that rock, a little pain to do that but I can save at least 30 of the blue mushrooms. For the red ones, I think nobody wants them. I may have a hard time to trade another rock with someone.
Thanks for your input everyone.

I've got a few emails regarding the trade, but they are spoken for.
I still have some blue mushrooms on the rocks, I might be able to remove some more later on, but I am OK with the rest for now.
Thanks everyone who were interested, I will let you know when I remove them again.
