Good luck, I'm in the process of trying to get rid of a couple of mine using kalk paste.

I turned one giant one into 6 small ones :lol:.

Joes juice
 
I was gonna try some joe's juice, or the calcium injection but i don't want them to multiply thats for sure!

What about cutting them off and using a small Stainless Steel toothbrush to scrub off the remainder. Just a thought I have not tried this.

You can try chipping them off with a chissel.

I was hoping for someone to tell me of some way to kill them where they are without having to chip away rock or remove it, as you can see in the picture, the two monti's have encrusted the rock that the mushrooms are on.

Can't you get a pair of snips and wire brush in there?
They make them in toothbrush size.

You might be able to convince then to move by aiming a powerhead at them. I have removed them with a sharp razor before too.

Good luck.

The powerhead is a good idea. If that doesn't work is it possible to peel them off? I noticed when I took a razor to mine they just happily grew babies from whatever tissue was left on the rock. (which was my intent at the time, so good thing, lol)
