chances are probably pretty good. the white string could be a slime coating it's expelling, or it could be venting waste out the oral canvity (which is also the anus for any coralamorphin).
people take mushrooms out of their tanks, put them on cutting boards, and slice them up with razor blades to frag them, so I think your fine. |

Are these hairy mushrooms?
I had some hairy ones acclimating in the bag and they seemed to have the 'strings' you are talking about....Just kept acclimating as usual and introduced to tank as usual and they are all fine now.... I wouldnt worry too much about it....it should be fine. |

I recently just fragged some shrooms, they did the same thing.... just let them re-adjust and all should be good.
But as said above, just keep an eye on it.

Their exending their fillaments because they are stressed. This is a natural response and how they attack neighboring corals. I wouldn't worry about it, it will be better tomorrow. Mushrooms are the hardest coral to kill.
