just an idea...never tried it or heard of another way to move shrooms off rock(only glass), but i thought about this.
Shade the mushroom so it gets no light. A makeshift cave with one entrance/exit. Place some rock rubble by the exit and when the shroom moves out to get light move the rock it moved onto. Like i said i have never tried this, just an idea. But even if it moves to the roof of the cave, and not the rubble you want it on, it will still be off the rock and ready to move. |

you can just scrape it off the rock - - - i watched a guy on youtube scrape it off the rock, cut it in 4 (razor blade) and put it in a small container with a screen over it - - - - now 4 mushrooms!
also, someone on here just put a small tupperware lid over an anenome to shade it and it moved pretty fast!! good luck |

You can chip it off with a little piece of the rock it is attached to and glue that frag onto another rock. You could also cut it off and attach it to the rock you want with Bridalveil lace, but it will take some time to regrow a "root" if you use that method.

leave it alone
if happy it will grow up a bit and branch off a bit.
Or direct a powerhead on it and it will blow off. best to keep all changes small as possible, gain some experience, then start making some small experiments. good luck
