Should I pluck the morphs out?

I know the BTA (in theory) should comes out as a winner against the red shroms and I want the outcome to be that as the BTA is more expensive than the shrooms.

Look at the picture below; the question: should I pluck the red shrooms out of the way?

IMO red shrooms are pests once their growth starts exploding, I’d frag the hell out of them and try to remove a bunch from your system.

Pluck & chuck.

PITA mushrooms will take over eventually.

Before I pluck .. will they release poisonous substance? I don't want BTA to be poisoned.

No they should be fine. To remove, take a scalpel and cut the foot of the mushroom cleanly off the rock. Try to leave as little tissue as possible. If you want to frag them out you could place them in a low flow area or in a container with rubble. They’ll attach within a few days.
