I agree, that and orange mushrooms. I just removed two rocks full of them. Sadly they've planted themselves in other areas as well but at least its "manageable"

I'd like to see this as well !
discosomas and rhodactis are a pain but I tough ricordeas were less overwhelming...

To remove these completly only way I know is with a chisel and a hammer !

I have some fuzzy mushrooms in a bad spot. I can't move the rock to get it out and cutting would be hard.
I covered it with a layer of kalk paste. It shrank it good, and I'm repeating till dead.
hasn't affected anything else in my tank.
Sure makes it cloudy for a bit but it goes away.
I dose kalk anyway so I just don't dose for the day.

Oh and shut off all my pumps and let the slurry just sit on it as long as possible.

can only do a few at a time or the tank chemistry will go WAY off. mine doesn't seem to mind a few shrooms at a time.

Here are some pictures. I've never paid much attention to what they actually were, the rocks had a few of them on them when I started the tank up about 1.5 yrs ago and have proliferated since then.
